Create the Magic For Every Stakeholder

Create The Magic For Every Stakeholder

Everything you do is a value proposition. 

The simple truth is, every decision you make is an attempt to lean the sum-total of the scales of value in your favor. You want to realize a net-positive value. This concept applies to you whether you’re an individual or the CEO of a business. As a CEO, the ability to sustain success depends on your ability to create mutually beneficial relationships between all of your stakeholders.

So, how do you create mutually beneficial relationships with all of your stakeholders if everyone is always trying to tip the scales in their own favor? The key is to understand the nature of mutually beneficial relationships and set the conditions for creating them with each type of stakeholder.

The magic of any great relationship is that it creates a net-positive value for everyone involved.

When this occurs, the relationship is mutually beneficial. No losers. All winners.

Every CEO must understand how to create a mutually beneficial relationship with all key organizational stakeholders. The answers to how to accomplish that can only come from asking the right questions.:

• Employees- People will be great at their jobs when what they value aligns with what Leaders want them to do. It’s about the value they perceive they receive in return for their efforts.
• Do you understand the value your employees perceive in the Compensation & Benefits they receive in relation to the effort they give?
• Do you understand how key employees find satisfaction in their work?
• Do you understand how employees perceive their leadership sets them up for success?
• Do you understand how satisfied your employees are with their relationships with the people they work with:
• Leadership?
• Co-Workers?
• Customers?
• Do you understand how to find the best fit for the job and the culture you want when you hire new employees?
