Thoughtful composition of the organization is critical to team performance and is a competitive advantage.

• Do you regularly review org positions across the company and departments to ensure resources are properly deployed?

• Can you produce a quick real-time org chart that shows the who and why of key positions?

• Can you tie each position to revenue generation ownership today and for the future?

• Are you properly phasing in new roles as your company grows?

Properly structured organizations are the key to ensure strong communication and timely decision-making.

• Does your organization feel siloed and slow to make decisions?

• Has it become too collegial or too top-down to impede the creation of a fun and effective culture of excellence?

• Do staff meetings feel like a chore or an energizing brain-storming session of full engagement?

A strong culture is critical for long-term value creation and need not be a cliché.

• Are your people with you for a job or a career?

• Are you focused on ensuring each employee’s performance is optimal and a great fit for the team?

• If you poll your team, would they overwhelmingly say that they love working with the company and feel fulfilled with where they are on their career paths?

• Is performance feedback used as a learning moment and tool for success?

• Is the trust across your organization strong and reliable?

• Do you have a culture of both empowerment and accountability?
