Are your employees acting like employees or business owners? Hopefully you are coaching, growing and empowering them to be mini-entrepreneurs within your company. If your employees are acting like business owners, it’s because you treat them that way. When you have a team of mini-entrepreneurs, your business will scale to new places.
How can you help them think like mini-business owners and not think like employees?
- Encourage them to make decisions
Once you encourage them that they are in a position to make decisions in their role, they will feel empowered to make these decisions without questioning themselves. As a business owner, you shouldn’t be in the weeds with every decision – empower your employees to make decisions! - Encourage a culture that is a solutions-based culture
Make sure they know we are here to provide solutions to our customers. It’s just as much up to your employees as it is for you as the business owners to make decisions and create solutions that benefit both your internal team and your customers.
- Encourage them to communicate
Communication is key for any well-functioning team. If your employees feel confident and have the clarity to communicate then they will have success, and so will your business. - Encourage them to be vulnerable and open and honest with you Transparency between employees and the owner are key to any growing business. Your employees must trust that they can come to you with any issue or solution, and you will be open to their ideas.
If you do these four things and create a culture around these four things, you will automatically empower them to become completely different and show up as a mini-business owner.
Keep evolving, entrepreneur! I see you, I get you, and I’m so proud of you.
