181: Making Good Book Club #19: Traction
Today we are back with this month’s edition of Making Good Book Club, and we’re talking about Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business by Gino Wickman.
Traction is all about how we can best organize our businesses to set ourselves and our teams up for success. The book walks through six key components of a business and dives into how each one can be made more streamlined, and more effective.
You guys, this is SUCH a Charelle book, lighting up and inspiring her not-so-hidden inner business organization nerd. Even if you’re a team of one, we both thought there were so many valuable nuggets in this book for any business owner, especially if you may want to build a team down the line. If you’re anything like me, you MIGHT find this book a little dry, but it is absolutely worth a read.
In this book club episode, we talk about:
Why creating a long term, organizational plan EARLY is worth it
Why getting your team members on the same page about goals and vision is essential
The importance of having the right people on your team, in the right seats
The roles of the integrator and the visionary
How quick, accessible data helps track the health of your business
And much more
