WHAT ATTRIBUTES DO THE MORE SUCCESSFUL STEBSTRATEGIES CLIENTS HAVE IN COMMON?

Clients that tend to be most successful with StebStrategies typically have one or more of these attributes. They:

  • Understand what business they're in and the role they play in it

  • Have specific challenges they want an outside perspective on, or perhaps need a second opinion on a range of issues

  • Involve key decision makers in the process

  • Constantly strive for "buy-in" and accountability throughout their organization

  • Recognize there is substantial value in getting another perspective on what they're doing

  • Are not afraid to "think out loud" and accept constructive feedback that can sometimes be difficult to hear

  • Welcome dialogue that at times examines the extremes of a given position

  • Embrace and learn from their failures with improvement in mind

  • Are self-aware and understand that being busy does not necessarily translate into accomplishment

  • Understand that at times they're so close to the business that they may fail to notice problems that could damage or disrupt their organization—or, sometimes worse, they may miss a valuable opportunity

  • Know their capabilities well and can envision and articulate what success looks like for their organization
