Breakfast Leadership Minute: Unlocking Business Efficiency: Small Changes, Big Gains
Wednesday Feb 26, 2025
Wednesday Feb 26, 2025
Are you feeling the weight of inefficiency in your business? You're not alone. Many entrepreneurs struggle with time-wasting processes that drain energy and resources. But what if we told you that a few small changes could lead to significant gains?
First, take a closer look at your workflows. Streamlining tasks can save precious time. Consider using automation tools. Think of them as your new best friends. They can handle repetitive tasks, leaving you free for the creative stuff.
Next, engage with your team. Regular feedback can uncover hidden bottlenecks. A little communication can go a long way. Lastly, don't forget to measure your success. Tracking progress helps you identify what works and what doesn't.
Remember, efficiency isn't just about doing things faster. It's about doing things smarter. So, could your business benefit from being a little more efficient? Absolutely. Embrace change and watch your productivity soar.

Summary
Discussing Workforce and Company Success
In the meeting, Michael and Bryan discussed their work and the importance of strong teams in creating great companies. Bryan, the owner and CEO of Peoplyst, a workforce consultancy, shared his experience in the people space for almost three decades. The conversation then shifted to Bryan's book, which Michael expressed interest in discussing further. The conversation ended with Michael's intention to delve deeper into the book's content and its relevance to creating thriving companies.
Building a Vanguard Team Culture
Bryan discussed the concept of a 'vanguard team' or ' super team,' which refers to individuals at the forefront of society, pushing boundaries and exploring new territories. He emphasized the importance of a growth mindset and a strong team culture for such teams. Bryan also mentioned a free assessment in his book that scores individuals on two axes: growth mindset and team strength. He explained that the highest score, a 75, would place someone in the vanguard quadrant. Bryan also discussed the characteristics of other quadrants, such as the ' monolith,' which represents teams with a fixed mindset but strong team culture. He used the example of newspapers that failed to adapt to digital technology, contrasting them with companies like the Huffington Post that thrived by embracing change. Bryan concluded that his book provides a 6-step methodology for building a vanguard team, starting with mindset.
Mindset's Role in Personal and Professional Growth
Michael and Bryan discussed the importance of mindset in personal and professional development. Michael shared his journey with burnout and how shifting his mindset helped him. Bryan emphasized the significance of mindset in opening up opportunities and overcoming limitations. They also discussed the mission concept, with Bryan suggesting that a clear mission is essential for an organization's success. Both agreed that having the right mindset makes the other steps easier and helps navigate ever-changing times.
Microsoft and Blackberry's Evolution Discussed
Bryan discussed the evolution of Microsoft and Blackberry, highlighting how both companies underwent significant changes in their mission and mindset to adapt to new market demands. He emphasized the importance of having a growth mindset and a strong team to pivot and reimagine a brand. Bryan also mentioned Satya Nadella's role in Microsoft's transformation, leading to increased success. Michael agreed with Bryan's points, noting the opportunities that arise from such shifts in mindset and mission.
Continuous Innovation and Adaptability
Michael and Bryan discussed the importance of continuous innovation and adaptability in business. They highlighted the example of Circuit City, which failed to adapt and eventually went out of business despite being a successful company in the past. They emphasized organizations' need for a roadmap or game plan to navigate challenges and listen to their people for valuable insights. They also stressed the importance of communication and the ability to pivot and be agile in response to changes in the market. Bryan mentioned his upcoming book, "People Problem Solved," which aims to provide a handbook for managers and leaders to help them solve their own people problems.
Rebranding: Lessons From Bryan's Experience
Bryan shared his experience rebranding his company from Mercury Performance Group to Peoplyst due to a trademark dispute. He initially trademarked the name and logo to protect his company's national and international presence. Still, he received a cease and desist letter from a European company claiming infringement on their trademark. Bryan rebranded his company after a lengthy legal battle to avoid further legal issues. The new name, Peoplyst, has been well-received and surpassed the previous company's top-of-funnel and mid-funnel marketing. Bryan emphasized the importance of resilience and adaptability in business and how it can lead to better outcomes. Michael agreed with Bryan's story and shared his experience working for a nonprofit that was going through a rebranding process.

I stand corrected." - Greg Schwem, Author of Text Me If You're Breathing, The Road to Success Goes Through the Salar Bar, and Turning Gut Punches into Punchlines
