Coach Tony | Leaving Your Comfort Zone
Are your employees cruising in the “Comfort Zone?” This is a question that any Small Business Owner should consider. If members of your team are not performing to their highest abilities, you may find yourself going beyond your daily workload to fulfill their duties.
Instead, consider setting up a program/creating a culture that encourages your employees to go above and beyond in their day-to-day operations. Promoting the concepts of accountability and individual effort can go a long way in helping your employees elevate their performance and tap into a new level of productivity.
Consider your employee’s “Comfort Zone”... not in a physical context, but a mental context. Oftentimes, anxiety and fears are the biggest hurdles to overcome. In many ways, anxiety can be the enemy of both production and creativity. This can especially be true when faced with a new job or role.
Whether someone is starting a new job, or getting promoted, these new responsibilities will force the employee to leave their comfort zone. For an individual, this can often be very overwhelming. Typically, it is best to encourage accountable employees to dive in and meet these anxieties head on, as that will be the best way to learn and grow from the experience.
It is only when you overcome your fears and anxieties, that you will achieve both breakthroughs and liberation in your life.

Creating a Learning Culture within your company or business is a great way to grow the skillsets of your employees. In short, a learning culture can be found in an organization that promotes the development of staff, a healthy collaboration between teams, and employs constructive feedback loops. Purpose is a word that comes up a lot in today’s job culture. While it is important to the individual, purpose means something different to everyone, and shouldn’t be used as an ideology in a business. A lot of business lectures and seminars will talk about having a ‘purposeful culture’ but we prefer to instill a learning culture. Not every person is able to find a job in which they find purpose. In a learning culture, almost everyone has a desire to grow and learn new skills. A learning culture requires a plan to cultivate the right mindset and skillset, but it produces happy and committed employees, which increases the value of a company. The characteristics of a successful learning culture are closely linked to the ongoing strategies employed by the organization to motivate learning.

According to a McKinsey study, companies that combine creativity, analytics, and purpose are growing at twice the rate of companies that only use one or two of those factors. While creativity has been used in marketing for years, data analytics have also become an integral part of successful business campaigns. Now entering the fold is the concept of “purpose”. Purpose is a new addition that can represent the overall mission of the company or product. One of the key takeaways from this study shows that “In the period 2018–19, companies using just one of the capabilities—either creativity, analytics, or purpose—saw an average growth rate of more than 6 percent. Adding a second component saw growth rates climb to more than 7 percent. For those that employed the full triple play, growth rates climbed to more than 12 percent.” Contact the Team at CHV Group if you would like to learn more about how to incorporate the concepts of creativity, analytics & purpose into your organization!
