Communicating the Business Goal
Moses urges entrepreneurs to continuously communicate their business goals. Effective communication ensures all tasks are assigned, deadlines are agreed to and kept, and conflicts are brought to light and dealt with accordingly. A team that communicates effectively has a greater chance of being successful than one that doesn’t. Employees who clearly understand their individual goals are more engaged with their work, and strive to make a direct contribution to the company’s success. They often find new ways to work smarter and more efficiently thereby booting their productivity which leads to increased profitability for your company.
