PODCAST SUMMARY

What you as a leader work on minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by-day matters — and either moves the needle and propels growth, or constricts it. For instance, consistently and strategically choosing one “big idea” per month will move a business forward faster than any one particular tactic. Working on one big idea across each pillar of your business – team, customers, capital and strategic execution (and personal mindset) – will lead to exponential growth over time. Pete Martin joins Maureen to share reasons why companies get stuck and stop growing, and what leaders can do to change that.
