Does running your business ever feel a little bit like herding cats?

Like trying to nail jello to a tree?

Maybe you've hired some thoroughbreds to work on your team and you've finally gotten some help.

But you just can't seem to get everyone running in the same direction. When my son Daniel

was a little guy, five years old, he decided he was going to start playing ice hockey and I had played

so dad gets to be the coach. Let me tell you what's more fun. Nothing is more fun at all on the planet

than a whole bunch of five-year-olds with pads and helmets and skates on rolling around

the ice chasing the puck. They were so disorganized like a little beehive chasing something

around. And so what we had to do as quickly as we could was to teach them to stay in their lanes

and pass the puck back and forth across the ice instead of everybody just following it.

So we had to convert chaos into a system, and as soon as we did that, we started winning hockey games,

if that's what you call it with five-year-olds.

If you can relate to that, then it probably means you're in the second stage that all businesses go through,

which we call

the Pathfinder stage.

And today, John Falcons from Ontario Leadership is going to show you how to move past the

Pathfinder stage.

You'll learn how to align your team around a clear mission to get everyone to chase the

same goals without chasing the puck all at once.

In the Pathfinder stage, your business starts to feel, well, a little messy.

You're no longer stuck doing everything yourself, and you've given your team a lot of tools

they need to succeed with good hiring and delegation, but ultimately your business lacks the clear direction
