Your dream of owning a business has become a reality. You designed a killer service and built a respectable client base. You masterminded a terrific strategic plan and can clearly see the road ahead. You feel accomplished, full of energy and have so many more ideas. 

 But you feel as if you are doing the heavy lifting alone. So here is the key question: 

 Does anybody on your team understand your strategic plan?

 It’s time to make your team your most powerful alliance! In this episode I will let you in on the secrets for how to do that.

 Welcome to episode 3 of Power Up Your Team podcast. Show notes can be found online at PowerUpYourTeam.com/3.

 Your strategic business plan with markets research, customer needs assessment and operational requirements impressed key stakeholders such as your banker. You secured funding based on your ability to present a convincing vision for your business. 

 You are ready to roll!

 Sadly, you find yourself supervising your team more than you want to. They are clocking in and are reliably following instruction.  However, they are falling short of thinking ahead or anticipating what needs to get done.

 They often ask you for instruction and you are thinking: “Shouldn’t that be clear?”

 Sometimes it’s hard to remember to communicate why you are doing what you are doing and keep your team informed about the bigger picture beyond their immediate job.

 Well, unless you have super natural powers, your great thoughts are not automatically transmitting to the minds of your employees. Even if you share your strategic plan once or twice, the graphs and numbers that are meaningful to your banker mean nothing to your team without more context.
