What is the key ingredient to overcoming business challenges?
“One word – alignment. Business challenges manifest
themselves in all shapes and can surface at any
time. Like a pilot flying a plane, a business and its
employees are constantly making course corrections
en route to the final destination. A healthy, vibrant
culture is crucial; intelligent, motivated employees
are a must; and a concise company vision is
essential. Combined, these components form the
alignment necessary to stop seeing challenges as
issues and start seeing them as opportunities.”
Eric Smith, Director of Business Acquisitions,
One Click Ventures
“The key ingredient in my opinion to overcoming
business challenges and creating a Best Place to
Work is TRUST. Without trust, it is impossible to
gain the confidence of the associates that work in the
organization and the ‘customers’ served. Leaders
today must engage the hearts and minds of associates
to achieve the mission, vision and values of the
organization. … If associates know you truly care
about them and if they can trust you, much of the
battle for achievement of business success is won.”

Hancock Regional Hospital
