Will You Add? - How Smooth is Your Business Sailing Along?
In the mid 1990s a few individuals and companies, seeing the potential of the relatively unknown Internet, took advantage of this new medium and got a head start on everyone else. Similarly, today a few innovative companies have enthusiastically embraced web and video conferencing and are reporting great benefits from this under-used application.

True to its motto, “we live to deliver” FedEx shipping makes a great deal of business in reaching even the most difficult and farthest destinations. FedEx shipping might as well use the song “Get Here” as its theme song.No other company in the world finds all possible measures just to get that pouch, envelope or box to its destination on t
You look around and find your anchor is running along the bottom of the marina. You were still moving forward, but no where near the speed as the other sailboats out that day.
Is this happening to your business? Are your sails full of great opportunities? Is your competition passing you by? Does your business lack the momentum to get you out to the open water?
Many businesses are dragging their anchor. What do I mean by “dragging their anchor”? This anchor can refer to employees who just don’t have what is takes to be successful in your business line or are the type of employee who brings down the rest of the team. The anchor stops or slows down your momentum in your company.
Having employees on your team who consistently challenge the corporation in a positive manner is a good thing! They keep your company competitive in the marketplace. However having an employee or group of employees who weigh down your company in a negative manner, is something you need to act upon.
Negative employees can knock the wind out of your company’s sails! The team members who fill your company’s sails daily, with great ideas and forward momentum will soon become tired and lack the energy, required to move your sailboat forward. Eventually these same employees will find an easier boat to blow their powerful wind into, while your anchors will continue to slow down your progress.

Many organizations continue to work on developing their anchors instead of harvesting the wind that blows into their sails. Anchors will always be anchors, and they may have moments of promise in transforming into a sail, BUT the trend is, they almost always revert back to being an anchor. A good read on this topic is a book titled “If You Don’t Make Waves, You’ll Drown” by Dave Anderson. One of the book’s lessons is, many of today’s leaders spend the majority of their time on the non-performers, instead of their performers. Again, continuing with this practice will have your performers looking for another stage to perform on.
Can you imagine a sailboat with no sails and all anchors? Business owners need to remove the anchors or at least secure your anchors onto your sailboat and focus on the sails in your organization. Sails do not need a lot of effort, however, they do need attention, regular support, and care.
Harvest the winds in your company so you can have full sails to allow you to compete in the marketplace and keep pace, ahead of your competition.
