Implementing The Strategic Plan
Last month we discussed “Making the Strategic Plan Happen” and how this is difficult because most owner/managers believe their people should somehow “know how to do their jobs” and get it done. This is frustrating to both employee and owner/manager as the employee is lost and the owner/manager is at a loss as to how to get the plan implemented.
For the most part neither, the owner/manager or the employee, has successfully implemented a Strategic Plan before, and they both have a pile of day to day work that “takes all their time.” So, their position is; “how am I suppose to get all this new stuff done?”
If neither party has the “know how” then what are they to do? The short answer is “learn.” Take the time and spend the money to derive the benefits that both the owner/manager and employee believe they will derive from the plan implementation. Learn the planning and implementation skills necessary to stay on top of the Plan and Get It Done!
