"Though the book is intelligent, dense, and brimming with serious information, the tone is engaging, approachable, and supportive, almost as if readers are meeting with a seasoned mentor committed to their success." - A pre-publication review This plain-talking book is a bit of accountability sitting on your desk or eBook reader. It bids you to step away from all the things that constantly clamor for your attention and spend thirty minutes a week on organization health. It covers a lot of territory-annoying problems that nip at your heels daily, complex problems that keep you up at night, and organizational disciplines that you know deep down aren't quite where you want them to be. It's not high-minded theory. It's practical and actionable. It asks hard questions and provokes deep thought about your personal and professional growth, the growth of your team, the kind of organization you want to be, and about the tools and methodologies you're using to increase revenues, decrease costs, and fatten up the bottom line. It helps you strike the right balance between being and doing. Each chapter lays out the case for shoring up an important discipline in your organization followed by an exercise to help you build it out. Some are people focused, some are process focused. Some are customer facing, some are employee facing. Some build hard skills, some build soft skills. Part of the challenge of being a successful business owner is that you must master every skill and competence needed in the entire organization. A companion website, http://oneyearthirtyminute.com/, gives you additional resources to complete the exercises
Autorenporträt
Mike Chirveno grew up the son of a successful small business owner. He saw how hard it was to make that business work. His dad would leave early in the morning to get his crew started, come home late in the evening after meeting with potential clients, spend weeks away from home when he worked out of town, struggle to find and keep good employees, and prospect continually to fill the sales pipeline. Because he wanted something better for his son, Mike's dad discouraged him from joining the family business. So after college, Mike joined corporate America. Over the course of 24 years, he worked in strategic planning, operations, project management, sales management, customer service management, collections, logistics, and tech management. Finally, in 2006, he returned to his family's entrepreneurial roots and started his own business, ClearVision Consulting. Mike set out to build a company that would provide resources for people like his dad-small business owners who need a sounding board for ideas, a trusted advisor when they get stuck, and a resource for information, tools, and knowhow that will equip them to build the organizations they always dreamed of. Mike has a BS in education from Calvary University and an MBA from Keller Graduate School of Management. In addition to his consulting work, he also teaches strategic planning to MBA students as an adjunct professor at a university in Kansas City. Mike lives in Kansas City, Missouri, and has been married 40 years to his wife. Together they have two adult children, and three grandchildren.
