Inhaltsangabe

Does your team really agree on what matters most?

Most small business owners believe their team shares their priorities. Few have ever checked. The office manager puts invoicing first, the senior engineer quality of work, the bookkeeper cash flow, and each assumes the others see it the same way. The result: decisions everyone agrees on but no one acts on, customer complaints that keep recurring, and a vision that stays in the owner's head rather than guiding the team's day-to-day work.

Strategy Alignment for Small Business Owners shows how to close that gap without corporate jargon, expensive consultants or complex software. Per Christensen adapts Strategy Alignment Analysis™ (SAA) and the practical theory of Organisational Ecology to the realities of a team of 5 to 50 people. Everything fits on a few sheets of paper and can be started next Monday.

Inside you will find:

• The 1-page strategy alignment map that connects where you want the business to be in five years with what each person does on Monday morning
• 10 ready-to-use meeting scripts, from the first honest conversation about priorities to the daily ten-minute huddle and the end-of-quarter review
• 12 diagnostic checklists, printed in the book, to audit the gaps between what you planned and what actually happens
• Step-by-step guides for turning the owner's vision into frontline daily tasks, so the person on the van, the shop floor or the front desk knows what matters most today
• A simple decision map that ends the bottleneck of everything waiting for the owner, with clear rules for family members and partners
• Case studies from five service businesses: a plumbing firm, a restaurant group, a landscaper, a garage and a home-care agency, including what went wrong and what they changed
• A 90-day plan that puts everything in the right order, plus a template library and quick-reference guides

Who it is for

Owners, managing directors and managers of trade, retail, hospitality and service businesses who are tired of repeating themselves and want a team that pulls in the same direction, without turning a friendly small business into a bureaucracy.

Find out what your team really thinks matters, and get everyone working towards it.
