Audacious Moves to a Billion: The Scaling Leader's Playbook

“As president, Roy Osing guided a Canadian early stage internet company to $1 billion in sales.

He identifies six major drivers that helped to achieve that growth, including differentiation, planning, and championing the frontline staff.

He insists that there are no silver bullets – running a business is a game of inches.” — Chris Ashmore, Host, The Business Essentials Daily Podcast

In this show I take you through the practical things that worked to grow a business to an unbelievable level 😱

“Roy underscores the importance of audacity in business, urging individuals to defy societal and educational norms that promote conformity over individuality. He champions the significance of being unique and disruptive, pushing beyond comfort zones and conventional approaches to foster innovation.

He advocates for a strategic mindset that values feedback as a measure of success and encourages differentiation in satisfying customer needs.

Roy introduces “strategic game planning” as a means to enact immediate action and move towards “blue oceans” of uncharted market spaces.

He critiques the reliance on generic competitive advantages and stresses the creation of an “only statement” to clearly define one’s unique selling proposition.” — Maurice Chism, Host, That Will Nevr Work Podcast

Business plans are traditionally too expensive, they take too much time, they’re too rigid, and are not executed with flawless precision.

My guidance in my Strategic Game Plan process is to focus on the three critical actions that will produce 80% of your results.

But beware, though, of being diverted away from your plan by the “Yummy”, the distractions may be fun to chase, but which add little to the implementation of your game plan.

In this Audacious Moves show, I breakdown the shortcomings of the traditional planning models, provide my solution to create an awesome, proven strategy in just 48 hours and what can be done to avoid having YUMMY sewer the execution of your plan.

Build the cultural competence of your business on the ability to successfully react to unexpected events rather than rely on traditional planning methods that try to build precision into your plan over the next 5 years.

There is too much unpredictability and randomness in markets to be able to create a plan and strategy that effectively accommodates future uncertainty. Successful businesses are able to react quickly when their chosen path is no longer available to them.

In this episode, Roy discusses what it takes to create a ‘reactive culture’ in an organization and why it’s essential to a successful competitive strategy.

An Audacious Leader isn’t great; they’re not the best and they’re not in the top 10.

They are breakaway leaders who stand out from the leadership “herd” because they are bold, courageous, outrageous and fearless.

They create NEW boxes to play in; they are The ONLY Ones who do what they do.

In this episode Anika Jackson helps me unpack the eye-opening leadership Moves I made to set an early stage company on a breathtaking trajectory.

Listen in and pick up some audacious leader morsels for yourself.

A few items he suggests to leaders:

💡Strategy — this is critical! Define what needs to be done and how it should be done.

💡Clarify roles and expectations — show what success looks like.

💡Clean it up — eliminate the roadblocks and processes that no longer serve your purpose.

💡Translate — be a ‘Line of Sight Leader.’ Engage the entire organization to share the strategy and discuss how each organization will benefit and/or be impacted.
