“Get your team together, sit around and brainstorm. Get yourself outside of your business and think about the things that are happening.  Because when you do that, you free yourself up to start to see the changes that are coming, you start to see the things that you can go ahead and change now.”

–Meridith Elliott Powell

Episode Takeaway: The common mistakes Meredith sees leaders make within their organization

1. Still trying to compete on product or service. And so, there’s no product or service that you make in today’s marketplace that your competitor can’t make, wouldn’t make, or doesn’t make.  So that’s not what’s differentiating you in the marketplace, it’s the experience in your reputation. So, the first mistake is still trying to compete on a product or service and not really realizing how important the customer experience is.
2. Still outsourcing employee engagement and culture to human resources. I mean, now, the most important thing you have is the team you surround yourself with and the most successful companies I see, that’s become the job of the CEO.
3. And the last and probably one of the most important is the fact that the biggest mistake even though we know change is coming, they still are sitting and waiting for change to happen rather than anticipating, creating scenarios, and really planning for change before it comes.
