Small Businesses have Big Business Problems Too!
A small business typically have less than 500 employees and fewer than two dozen executives, like the traditional privately held and family owned businesses that make up almost 90% of all organizations worldwide.
These businesses have all the productivity, communication, conflict, leadership, and management issues faced regularly by the large companies that populate Wall Street.
Except of course that you can be hired, do your work, and be paid by one of these Main Street companies - in less time than it take your proposal to get through the decision making process at a Fortune 500 organization.
The owners of these mainstream companies are executives in the truest sense of the word. They make decisions that effect their lives and the success of their entire universe every day. In a family owned company mistakes can be fatal. These executives need to be trained to help them uncover the pot holes before the company drops into one.
Leadership is the key core competency required to achieve and sustain success in the 21st Century. Mainstream companies do not have leadership development programs - everything is OJT (on the job training).
Unmanaged conflict is the largest reducible cost in organizations today, and the least recognized, sometimes businesses need help getting everybody on board and cooperating with the process.
These mainstream companies are made up of people who know each other well - where nothing is just business, everything is personal, so an outsider is often required to help train and facilitate the start up of the conflict resolution process. This is the role of a conflict coach - helping real people deal with very real issues that effect their lives and those of their entire family.
As some corporations position themselves to transition the business to the next generation of owners it becomes clear that the business is unlikely to get big enough quick enough to provide opportunities for everybody. Or the younger generation are not interested in the family business. Coaching and training to help the younger generation members consider their alternatives and maybe developing qualified insiders to become managers and successors in the next generation.
The average successful business owner is in his or her sixties. That makes their offspring probably less than forty. Virtually every successful mainstream company also has key employees, managers, and supervisors who are within 10 years of the owner's.
That means that the people exist who, if coached well - can create the internal management team that will lead to seamless growth as the senior generation heads off into the sunset. In fact for every speciality and sub-specialty of coaches there is work to be done on Main St.
