Barriers to Growth
•
There are roughly 23 million firms in the US
•
4% have revenue over 1M
•
Of those 4%, 1 in 10 (.4% of all companies)
have more than 10M in revenue
•
17,000 surpass 50M
•
2,500 firms in US are larger than 500M
Big Versus Small
•
Traditional businesses don’t create jobs or
invent products, they buy them
•
Risk Aversive – more committee decisions
made to limit career risk
Causes of Turnover
When examining the talent at any organization, look at the culture, not the rhetoric – look at the results, not the commentary about
potential. Despite some of the delusional perspectives in the corner office, when we interview their employees, here’s what they tell us:
• More than 30% believe they’ll be working elsewhere within 12 months.
• More than 40% don’t respect the person they report to.
• More than 50% say they have different values than their employer.
• More than 60% don’t feel their career goals are aligned with the plans their employers have for them.
• More than 70% don’t feel appreciated or valued by their employer.
Bad Seeds
Get rid of bad seeds and people who don’t
want to be there – the dominant attitude will
proliferate through the group and pollute the
team.
