Need Help with Boosting Business Growth? Steve Preda Is Here with the Seven Management Concepts and Their Origins

 

“Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; the leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.”

Stephen Covey-An American educator, author, businessman, and speaker’

hat if management followed scientific principles? Is it possible to build a business systematically using such principles?  Is “business growth science” a thing?

Building a great business is part art and part science. The entrepreneur provides the art by discovering a unique combination of resources that can create value and produce a profit.

However, management is also imperative for business success. Without management, there is entropy that leads to chaos, conflict, and wasted resources. Management based on scientific principles ensures that the resources at the disposal of your business are directed to their optimal use.

The entrepreneur’s job is to find a unique combination of resources that the market demands.  Management must then ensure that your resources are used effectively and efficiently.

The notion of ensuring that a business is operational and profitable is the origin of business management. The core management necessities are universal and needed by every business; However, each business needs to implement them at its own pace and sequence. So, it’s not practical to apply a one-size-fits-all management rulebook to all companies.

Confused? If so, you may need an expert. Let’s gather around Steve Preda, whose books, skills, and experience are here to help both experienced and newbie entrepreneurs.

“If you own a small to medium size business, you have an opportunity to use it to transport you to your ideal life. Ask yourself: how would you like to spend your waking hours, if money was no object? What kind of life would make you happy and fulfilled? From there” – says Preda – “you can identify the gap from your current reality and create a plan to bridge it, using your business.”

The next step is to turn your business into a well-oiled machine that can take you to your ideal life. Preda, in his book, Buyable: Your Guide to Building a Self-Managing, Fast-Growing, and High-Profit Business, outlines seven management concepts, and their origins, you can build on to orchestrate a thriving business.
