Sparks
How to fire up the business engine
You know how some things just spark off energy in you? Maybe it's being around a person, or an exhilarating experience, it fires you up in a way nothing else does.
Well, what if systems could do so too? What if you can create such an environment and ecosystem in your business? How would you feel being with people like that? How will the business function?
If you want that, first off, we need to realize that having that kind of high energy all the time will be exhausting. More importantly, it will change the baseline of people's experience. If you're born with a Rolls Royce, anything else would probably feel like a downgrade. So, keep that in mind first.
Once that is clear, you won't chase after an unnatural state of being. You can then focus on what makes someone tick. We are all made up of desires, some expressed and most not. But the common factor in all these desires are usually simple. It can be money, relationships, experiences, etc. In some form or another, we're all looking for growth. So, now you know what to look for.
Now, what if, your system takes these sparks into account? Ofcourse, you can't hand these out on a platter; but for sure, you can make room for them. For example, a person who likes to build relations can be placed in a sales role, etc.
But, do you see, getting this fit just right is actually what your business needs?
The important thing is that there should be some sort of alignment between systems and the people in it. Ensuring that is our job as business owners. If we do this one thing well, the business will not only have very bright sparks but also very productive fires!
