There are a handful of areas in each business that require a constant learning process. This week, Colin offers a brief discourse upon the simple things we can all do to make sure our businesses are running to their full potential.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• It’s all very well to take lessons from the negatives, but we should always endeavour to focus primarily upon the areas in which we are succeeding, and learning accordingly.
• Blame and lack of accountability from those in more senior roles, will only ever lead to a lack of motivation and inspiration among your workforce.
• It’s in our interest to ensure to constantly ask how we can enact positive change in our businesses. Every small incremental positive change helps.

BEST MOMENTS

‘I want you to talk to people and find out about how work is done well’

‘What better use of your time can there be, than going out and talking to people?’

‘You’re going to feel great because you’ve made a difference'
