People Planning – Managing Growth in the Business

As a business grows the resources acquired, the number of staff also tends to consistently grow. Increasing staff numbers can be challenging for business owners. All too often a business owner tries to control too much themselves, to ensure things are done ‘their way’. 

Business owners experiencing growth need to ensure they are suitably ‘people planning’.  This involves not only focusing on the number of staff, but the skills and roles of those individuals as well. As the business grows, business owners need to progressively loosen their control, otherwise they unintentionally limit the growth opportunities of their business.
