#168 - Vision & Value

In this solo episode of Referrals Done Right, Scott Grates explores why hard work alone does not create a great team. Everyone can be working hard while still rowing in different directions. The missing piece is often clarity around where the business is going and why that destination matters. Scott introduces the idea of a vision and value meeting to help leaders create that alignment. He shares questions that can uncover what a team believes the business should become and the value it creates for customers. Most importantly, leaders need to give their people a voice in the process. When people help shape the direction, they have a greater reason to row together. In This Episode: • Why effort without a shared direction can hold a team back. • The difference between understanding a job and understanding the mission. • How a vision and value meeting can create greater clarity across your team. • Why team involvement can create stronger ownership and buy in. • The questions leaders should ask before setting next year's goals. --- Scott Grates' Links: The Magnetic Niche - https://mailchi.mp/wonderlabstrategy/findyourniche Referrals Done Right - https://www.referralsdoneright.org Referrals Done Right FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/296359076662332 Scott Grates Website - https://www.scottgrates.com Love Living Local - https://www.instagram.com/lovelivinglocal315 Scott's FB - https://www.facebook.com/scott.grates.1 Scott's - https://www.instagram.com/scottgrates TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@scott.grates
