Welcome to the last video in this series. We've been answering several questions on our way to understanding what's going on in your business and what sort of condition is in. Throughout the process of finding the answers to all of these questions there is one HUGE question that I’m looking for the answer to…

How are decisions made in this company?

The answer to this question hits on a lot areas in the business…

The answer to this question tells me about the leadership style in the company. Are employees mircromanaged? Or do they have the freedom to think, grow, execute, and make mistakes…

It tells me about the culture and gives a little more color as to why your employees are loyal, or why they leave quickly…

Coupled with what I've learned about your processes, I may find that one person makes all of the decisions and has chosen to be the bottleneck in the business by interrupting otherwise good processes…

Maybe nobody makes decisions, or a very small number of key players are always locking horns on decisions, again slowing the business down.

Sometimes there’s a void. I've come across situations where the person who has ownership control doesn’t lead nor do they select someone to lead.

Ultimately, businesses aren’t democracies. Someone must make the decisions. A trait of a good leader is that they know how to listen to several perspectives and once they’ve listened, they make a decision and move the company toward a goal.

Good leaders don’t make every decision;
rather they hire good people and get out of the way. They know how to let others do what they do.
