One of the biggest frustrations for Stage 2 leaders is to see the deterioration of their operations — when what had been a nimble, responsive, efficient team becomes a cumbersome, disjointed, wasteful organization.
What happened?
It’s not that the leaders have lost their skills, it’s that the operations environment in Stage 2 businesses is much more complicated.
To correct the situation, Stage 2 leaders need to create and manage operations strategies that (1) identify the optimal leverage points in their processes, structure, people and other aspects of operations and (2) outline the objectives and priorities for the different areas of operations.
