It’s Tough Out There.
You Have Every Reason to Hold On To Your Money. Except…
Racecar drivers have a cardinal rule: keep your eyes on the track, not the wall. Your focus can determine your trajectory. The great temptation in uncertain times is to hunker down and succumb to a scarcity mindset. For many, this is the beginning of a downward cycle that ends badly. Some of our smartest clients use a different strategy to overcome these challenges.
Challenge: rapid change and uncertainty
In tough economic times, the building industry usually suffers. By extension, so can commercial electrical contracting. One of our clients, however, is a thriving electrical contracting company that is accelerating their growth with a bold approach. They are investing in strategic planning with LDI and training their emerging leaders with us. That gives them the vision, resilience, and skills they need to thrive in a time of rapid change and uncertainty.
Challenge: Reduced cash flow
Don’t respond to a drought by cutting off the water supply. Strategic planning and development are catalysts for growth, even when financial pressures tempt you to cut funding in those areas.
It’s tough to invest in development when cash is tight, but a leading manufacturing company in MA hasn’t let that stop them. They leverage our retainer program to spread out their investment in strategic planning and executive coaching throughout the year. This allows them to stay focused on a long-term growth trajectory, and a measurable return on investment improves cash flow.
Challenge: Cuts out of your control hit your training budget
A Massachusetts distributing company learned that limited training funds don’t have to be a barrier, thanks to the Workforce Training Fund Program. It may cover up to $3000 per participant per year for eligible companies (with a cap of $30,000). Using that smart strategy, you can also continue to develop your team even when funds are tight.
Challenge: fewer people doing more means no time for training
Overwhelmed team members come into every one of our programs. Many of them don’t believe they have the time to participate in a rigorous, hands-on course. Yet the majority not only succeed in the program but also get more done at work and at home. How? They develop the skills and habits to manage their time and energy more effectively. They become more goal-oriented and develop a focus on what matters most.
