If you are a 7 or 8 figure Business Owner…

And you are struggling with having leadership that you are confident can take your company to the next level, you are not alone.  Many CEOs are facing a disengaged workforce, a lack of ownership and high employee turnover. And all of this is causing slower growth, lower margins and cash flow, high stress and an overworked CEO. 

If this is you, then pay attention, because over the next few minutes I am going to break down the 6 steps to creating a high performance organization.

Hi, I’m Patrick Rogers and I am a business strategist and leadership development expert and I specialize in helping CEO’s just like you create a highly engaged team with exceptional profits. There are 6 keys to generating that high performance organization.

It’s not the new technology, marketing tactic or software system that will be the game changer for your business.  It will come from creating an organization of healthy, happy and engaged employees that are able to come together as a true team to drive results. That is the game changer, so let’s dive in.

The first step to achieving a high performance organization is to identify your purpose and current reality.  This is your core identity system.  When there is a lack of clarity of purpose, employees feel disconnected and lose the trust of leadership.  

According to a recent Gallup poll, 78% of employees have no clear picture for where the company is going and consequently don’t trust the leaders.   People want value and meaning in their work. We create your foundation through your mission, vision, core values and legacy impact.  This sets the stage for everything else to be built upon and gives your employees a true north from which to operate.

Just like my client, Chris F.  He was having major trust issues and low engagement rates in his company.  When we worked together to forge a proper foundation of the company, this laid the framework for a massive shift in engagement.  Lantern Audio experienced over $1.5M in new revenue in less than a year. 

Next we work to develop your teams by focusing on your most important company asset; your leaders.  This is your leadership development system. 

Over 70% of the variance that determines employee engagement is determined solely by the managers.  However most companies’ leadership does not have the proper training and skill sets to perform well in their role.  On top of that, many times we don’t have the right leaders in the right seats, causing most managers to not be respected by their team members.

We start by transforming your executive leadership team into servant leaders and coaches that can play into employee strengths and foster the development of high performance teams.  Your leadership team will discover how to master their own energy and then shift the energy of their teams to create passion and fulfillment throughout your company.

We then turn our attention to your next level down of managers and repeat the same training program, along with any cross functional teams.  

Like my client, Bill C. who came to me with poor management practices that had traumatic effects on the employees engagement and performance, resulting in over a 40% turnover rate.

We helped Bill and his leadership team redefine how they manage their team to become highly respected and looked up to.  After being stagnant for almost 10 years, Bill increased revenues by $1M in 1.5 years and he went from working over 70+ hours a week to less than 30 hours per week, and that’s working on the business, not in it.
 
I hear from so many business owners that they are suffering from stagnation caused by their leaders not working together.  Leaders driving their own agendas results in internal drama with you stepping in to babysit and put out fires constantly.  We all know that results in inefficiencies, and ultimately, significant loss in growth and profitability.  

Highly aligned companies grow revenues 58% faster and are 72% more profitable than their misaligned counterparts.  

We solve this by implementing our Strategy System.  We combine proven strategic tactics that allow your company to gain a competitive advantage along with an internal alignment and prioritization system that laser focuses your entire team on these key initiatives.

Strategy without a solid accountability system is like a lamborghini without an engine, it looks super sexy but gets you nowhere.  Without an accountability system, you might be experiencing projects starting but delayed or not completing causing slow speed to market and even lower operating margins.

82% of leaders say they don’t know how to properly hold others accountable without being punitive.  Furthermore, when people solve problems, 75% of the time, they feel like they are doing someone else’s job.  That’s a major accountability problem in today’s workforce.

Our execution system solves this by creating a culture of ownership and continuous improvement so that efficiencies and profitability are continuously increasing.  It is also an operational system that creates direct “line of sight” to company performance for each one of your employees. 

Everyone knows exactly how their actions contribute directly to the bottom line, and through our “Rapid Improvement Projects”, we implement a fun and interactive way to motivate and incentivize each team member to want to drive these improvements.

Take my client Philip Y.  He was putting in well over 80+ hours a week and minimal profits. We assembled a solid strategic plan and narrowed their focus to a stronger target market with a differentiating unique value proposition. We combined this with our execution system that kept his team accountable and excited to exceed expectations. He increased his bottom line profits by over 10% in the first 6 months and was working less than 30 hours a week.

You can’t execute a solid strategy when you have a revolving door of employees.  Low employee retention and high turnover rates are plaguing so much of the corporate world, especially since the great resignation.
According to a 2022 McKinsey & Company survey, 40% of all respondents said they are at least somewhat likely to quit their jobs in the next three to six months.  However, companies who have an actively engaged workforce have 43% less turnover and much better retention rates. And on top of that, they never have recruitment problems because all the good people never want to leave.
So you can see that low levels of engagement is directly related to high turnover and is a real problem today.
Our people system solves this by implementing best in class strategies to find, hire and retain the A players in the industry. We also create a culture of ownership where everyone is operating from a place of passion and fulfillment. 

My client, Loren K. was experiencing that revolving door of employees.  He thought his problem was recruitment, in fact it was retention.  

We transformed his culture through our employee retention and engagement program that focuses on improving the entire employee lifecycle experience.  He now literally has a waiting list of A players ready to come on board when he scales to that next level.

Loren added millions to his top line revenue in less than a year.  Loren now has a staff of loyal employees and he is able to take extended vacations. Before working with us, he hadn’t been able to take a vacation in years.

Finally, a company’s decisions are only as good as the financial data that they are based on.  Most companies are running with financial blindfolds on and not effectively using forecasting as a tool for growth.  Additionally, almost all employees have no idea about how the financials work and do not benefit when the company succeeds, creating a lack of ownership.

Two thirds of all employees say that they would like some sort of incentive based pay.  However more than 85% of companies don’t even have KPIs to measure what success could look like.

That is where our Results System comes in. 

We implement a financial metric scoreboard that is updated by your team weekly.  Your team takes ownership of the financial success of the company as they have direct financial and operational line of sight to how they benefit when company goals are succeeded. 

We then work together to implement profit optimization strategies so that you experience increased cash flows. These strategies range from methods to accelerate cash flow collection to improving the value chain efficiencies that drive gross margins.

Take my client, Reed M.  Before working together, he had no clue what his true profit margins were and his team was even more so in the dark.

We implemented our High Performance CEO framework and for the first time ever he had real time visibility to his margins.  Because his team was able to make up to 8X what they made in bonuses before, they were genuinely excited about making serious improvements. 

Reed was able to double his company's revenue and triple his profits in just under 2 years.
