Opportunities

I am ever impressed with those that not only see an opportunity, but act on it. Even in this less than stellar economic environment, there are companies that are thriving and growing. When a company is in a growth mode, it is easy to focus on growth, and aspects such as structure can take a back seat.

Take advantage of the prosperous times to create a solid and nimble leadership team; make a conscience effort to create an atmosphere of encouragement and competition among your employees; lok to the next 3 - 5 years and evaluate your systems' features/functionality/capacity; and become fiscally disciplined.
