How to Choose Who Runs Your Business in Your Absence

TEN QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF BEFORE CHOOSING WHO RUNS YOUR BUSINESS

Have you ever wondered who is qualified among all the staff you have to run your business in your absence? If you have a fledgling business, and you are concerned about its growth, you would have had a thought about this. The following questions are valuable guides in helping you decide who qualifies to drive your business to the next level:


1.      Do they have personal visions for their lives? If anyone cannot make out time to think on their own lives, they will not think on your business. If they do not have visions for their lives, it may never be important to them to craft one for your business.

2.      Do their visions align with yours? Are the visions adaptable and adoptable to what you represent?

3.      Do they ever take time to think about your business? Do they bring up suggestions, ideas? When you interact with them, did they sound like they are in sync with your thought mode? When they talk, what do they say? What strategies/ideas have they come up with that could really help your business? Did you take note of their suggestions and ideas? Do those ideas look like something you could give a try someday?


4.      What comes first to them: Pay or Business result? Every average employee thinks and talks pay first. Such persons are hardly good managers or leaders in your organization. If you have been treating them well by industrial standard, business result should be the major concern on their minds.

5.      Do they read books on business, capacity building, purpose, etc. that could enhance their performance? Do they have a library of books, and do they read? And when they read, what kind of books do they read?

6.      How do they consider training? Do they ever bother you about training and retraining so they could gain new skills? Do they desire to learn more? Do they have the drive to know more than they currently do know?

7.   Do they exhibit any form of creative thinking and approach to work when they are given assignments apart from the instructions they are given?


8.    What is their relationship with the customers they have and  the prospective customers? What do customers represent to them? How do they welcome customers? How do they feel when customers walk away not having obtained what they came for in your place? How far are they willing to go out of their way to help customers get their needs met?

9.      What is their relationship with fellow staff? Are they criticizers or correctors? Do they build sects with friends and make others feel terrible for belonging in the organization? 


10. How about their level of passion and attitude towards your work? Of course they could hide it, but you could still find a way of knowing how they regard the job. Do they have passion for its growth and embrace the work with joy everyday they appear at work?

TRUE LIFE STORY OF A MIGRANT

TRUE LIFE STORY OF A MIGRANT My name? You can call me Ese. I am eighteen years old, from Edo state. Two months ago, a friend of my aunt came to our house and said she could help me get a job abroad, she said she knows someone there who has been helping other people. We only had to provide about Six Hundred thousand naira for my transport to the Libya. My aunt, my mum and my elder brother all gathered the money and gave me some extra for the trip. Two weeks later, we were ready for the trip.  From Edo state, we were transported to Kano, and then Katsina, and, I don’t know the names of all the places, but they said they had to follow that particular road because of Immigration and other officers that collect money from them on the road. We went through several bush paths and un-tarred road in a long lorry until we were completely in the desert. More than ninety percent of us girls were from Edo state and I think all the boys were Ibo because they were speaking more of Ibo...

I have no Issues with South Africa, just this

Image
HELLO SOUTH AFRICA I sympathize with you. I sympathize that in this age and time, your mind can be so debased and reprobate enough as to allow you descend to the level that you did recently with your xenophobic attacks on other Africans living in your country. I sympathize with you, not because you got angry, we all do, but that your anger was largely undefined. I sympathize with you that wrapped around your neck is the gloom of apartheid we all thought we supported you to overcome. I sympathize with you that you easily forgot the help that other countries render to you in your time of need, just because of a little unease and discomfort that you feel. Need I remind you the role that Nigeria as well as other African brothers played in redeeming you from the hands of your captors? I sympathize with you that you have time and time again shown that, through these attacks you are showing of what stuff you are truly made. I would have kept quiet and expect that thi...
