Curing the Hopium Epidemic Part 3 Running versus Leading

Hey everyone, it's Cheryl Marks Young here, back with Part Three of our Hopium series, focusing on curing the hopium epidemic in businesses. If you're new here, we're discussing how leaders often rely on hope rather than solid planning to achieve business goals, a practice I've dubbed "hopium." Today, we're diving into the difference between running and leading a business. Running a business involves being caught up in daily tasks and operations, while leading is about strategically guiding your business towards its goals. I'll share insights from my experiences and Vistage groups, and we'll explore how to transition from running to leading by utilizing tools like training videos and written manuals. This approach not only streamlines operations but also empowers you to focus on growth and strategic planning. Join me as we tackle the hopium epidemic and steer our businesses towards lasting success.
