Installing a New Perspective

Business owners across the country will agree that a distracted employee is an employee who is failing to reach their full potential.
There are countless business owners throughout the country who assign their employees projects and tasks that are drastically outside of their areas of expertise.
Whether that new job is challenging or not, it’s easy to imagine how someone would have to shift their complete focus away from their task at hand and install a new perspective!

How Shifting Perspectives Can Affect Your Valuation

It’s no secret that quickly shifting perspectives or tasks is difficult. But what you may not know is how a shift in focus could affect productivity and even your company’s valuation.
From the perspective of a potential buyer, seeing employees in the marketing department handling accounting and vice versa, could be a window into the underlaying processes and everyday procedures.
It may be time to reevaluate which members of your team are easily able to transition their attention from one task to the next without falling victim to a complete re-install and reboot of their perspective!

Large Companies & Smaller Businesses

Whether you are running a global corporation or a small family business, spreading your employees too thin is a real possibility.
No matter how large the business you are running is, recognizing when a project is being stalled due to the prioritization of another assignment is especially important.
The difference between a large corporation and a small business is that employees who work for small companies are often forced to spread themselves much thinner than their counterparts.
