Thank you VentureFizz and Frank Roe for having this conversation - It is so refreshing to be able to share the personal side of those I work with every day! SmartBear's CEO, Frank Roe, speaks with VentureFizz here about his background and vision for the future in this interview:

StratStar: From @Jake Harter, Founder of Bellevue Partners: I highly recommend Melissa's StratStar system. It proved to be invaluable for pinpointing critical next steps and provided a clear roadmap for our resources and attention. Melissa's exceptional facilitation skills unlocked key insights by asking the right questions and challenging our status quo. StratStar is the perfect solution for those searching for a strategic framework to guide your short and long-term growth strategies. I LOVE helping businesses identify growth alternatives and position their business for success. F4Marketing's StratStar tools do both. And Jake and Emma are knowledgeable and thoughtful about all aspects of talent management so our session had an added benefit: I learned from them. #StratStar #GrowthStrategy #Insights 

Do you have the "Right People" in the "Right Seat"? This is a difficult question but for any organization to be successful, you have locate, onboard, and keep people that align with your culture and help you move your organization forward. This video is a great reminder to spend time leading your people and not just managing them. At the ENRG - EOS Networking Resource Group meeting yesterday at the Innovation Portal, we discussed just that. You have to not only locate and onboard, but in order to keep, you must engage with your team regularly. This includes quarterly conversations that allow you to provide direct feedback to your team members, but also for them to provide direct feedback to you. Without that two way communication, you become a manager rather than a leader. Leaders can inspire and grow people, managers fill a void for effective leadership. Have you looked into EOS in your business? Here is a great place to start by connecting with an EOS Implementer. https://lnkd.in/g7zjMAxA Looking for a way to get better at EOS in your business? Would you like to collaborate monthly with other companies building or running EOS in their businesses? ENRG is a group of business leaders providing a framework to learn and thrive in the implementation and ongoing execution of EOS. We are made up of Visionaries, Integrators, and other business leaders from many successful local organizations in Mobile and Baldwin Counties that meet regularly for a 90-minute meeting to discuss issues and solve issues in our businesses as well as cover an EOS Toolbox item each month. Think of it as like a mini revival for EOS each month much like the EOS Worldwide annual meeting. Want to learn more, send me a message and we can connect. https://lnkd.in/ePWrWiaJ Sidney R Sexton; Todd Greer; Rick Miller; Chris May; Caiden Bennett

In any organization, the synergy between leaders and team members determines the course of success. Each person plays a crucial role—whether they're driving the team forward or unintentionally holding it back. I recently came across this insightful video 📽️ that explores how team members can either aid or sabotage a group's success. It sheds light on the importance of not just leadership, but the collective effort and mindset each individual brings to the table. Great leaders empower their teams, but it's the team spirit that pushes everyone toward shared goals. As Albert Einstein said, "The high destiny of the individual is to serve rather than to rule." Let's continue building environments where every member is valued, heard, and driven to contribute to the greater success. #Leadership #Teamwork #TeamSpirit #GrowthMindset #Success #SMEs #QuantumBITS
