Big Business or Small Business that is the question

Recently speaking at a conference about the ideas in ReEnergizing the Corporation, I was told that the ideas were fine but did they only apply to large corporations? Well the simple truth is that good leadership is  not the reserve of large organisations, multinational or older and wiser organisations  – why should it be. The ideas we think are important may be gleaned from research and working with larger organisations, but they are sound and suitable for all leaders of people.

Ask yourself thsese questions:

Should talent only be allowed to thrive in large organisations?

Should leaders only explain Why when they have more than 100 employees?

Should I develop my staff when there are so few of them?

You don’t have to be a business genius to see how stupid the answers seem if you take a view that small businesses can’t apply these ideas.  In fact in a smaller enterprise the results should come faster. Being close to you staff is easier and therefore the individual responses easier in a smaller organisation.  So big or small, east or west, high or low tech – good leadership is good for business.
