Episode 10: Great Leaders Write One Page Business Plans
Great leaders understand that one of their most important roles is that of Chief Storyteller. They know stories sell products, services, programs and big ideas. They also know that employees, vendors and investors listen and remember what is important, when the story is told well. The story leaders share most frequently is the story of where they are taking the company, how to grow it, what’s critical to its success…in essence, their business plan. Unfortunately, too frequently the story is only told verbally…or resides in a fifty-page document. Neither are effective. Great leaders can write their plans on a single page. In this segment, Brenda Chaddock and Carollyne Conlinn host Jim Horan, creator and author of the Amazon best selling series, The One Page Business Plan® in a lively, provocative conversation on how it IS possible to write a complex business plan on a single page AND why, as a leader, you personally must master this skill, then have your teams master it.
