Mads Singers Management Podcast
Business:Management
Today’s guest for this episode of the Mads Singers Management Podcast is Eric Spencer.
Eric is the COO for SkyeTeam, a boutique leadership development consultancy based in Denver, Colorado. Although the company has been around since 2007, it wasn’t until 2011 when Eric came on board. He has worked for several companies, including technology, hardware and software, startups, and even Fortune 50 companies.
Eric’s passion is helping companies, organizations, teams, groups, and individuals improve as leaders, managers, coaches, mentors, and human beings.
Many business owners tend to come up with many ideas from time to time, whether it’s a new business venture, a new investment, a new invention, or even a new way of doing things. However, while these may sound good, it won’t be successful if business owners and entrepreneurs won’t develop their staff.
Eric shares his Two-Five-Fifteen (2-5-15) system where: 2 is about face-to-face meetings on Zoom, five is for five reach-outs using either phone calls, LinkedIn messaging, and emails or whatever may seem convenient for you and your potential client, and lastly, 15 where your goal is to get 15 reach outs sent for the day.
In the spirit of Zig Ziglar, you will get more of the things you want by helping other people get the things they wish to. This also allows you to reciprocate things and favors quickly and is a surefire way to fill your karma bucket in an instant.
Many managers and business owners tend to fix broken things. They need to realize that that’s not their job. Instead, they should focus on those who want feedback as their interest is higher and on a much faster scale than those who are contented with their current state.
While it may seem awkward for the first time, business owners and leaders should invest time with their staff because it’s the people stuff that will bring success to your business or whatever venture you may have in your cards.
Allow your staff to set the frequency on when they want to talk with you. These relationship pulse checks can help you know your team better and have them perform better.
