For Small Business Owners - Yes, Employee Engagement Can Have a Real Impact.

If you are a small business owner, you ARE the culture. So if you don't like how things are, you have to take a good look at how you interact with your employees.

As a business owner, little interactions go a long way. Like it or not, you're viewed as a demi-god. Therefore, employees are uplifted when you walk through the office and speak to everyone and ask about their families or congratulate them on a recent achievement. Conversely, they feel slighted, if you walk through and are in your head thinking about things and totally ignore them as you pass.

In company after company I go into as a consultant, the business owners and CEOs do not fully realize the impact they have on employees. In fact, a few honestly have absolutely no idea.

Your position our words and actions carry significantly more weight than the words and actions of others.

So say hi. Engage. Connect. And see what happens.

A Consultant vs a Fractional CEO / COO: What's the Difference? An Explanation

A consultant works on a project basis, identifying a scope and the objectives and deliverables the consultant will need to deliver. A fractional COO or CEO is someone who supports an organization that's either not ready to hire such a person full-time or the owner or executive management needs additional support. A fractional CEO or COO identifies the objective but takes more time to achieve the objectives, working on a fractional portion of the week instead of 6-14 weeks straight, 40-50 hours per week.
