Episode 59: The hidden cost of "Just figuring it out" as you go in business

Have you ever felt like "we'll figure it out as we go" has become your default plan for running the business? This week Kirsty and Tienie unpack a section from our book, Small but Mighty: The Business Leader's Guide to Growth, People & Performance. It's a phrase we hear echoed, in different words, across several of our clients, and one many leaders say with confidence early on. We explore why this approach can work, and often has real benefits, but also why it's easy to get stuck there without realising it, and what it actually costs the business and the team when there's no plan beyond "figuring it out." We talk through what shifting away from it looks like in practice. These conversations are drawn from real challenges our clients bring to us, because chances are, if one business is facing it, you probably are too. Join us next week, where we unpack another theme: "What does leading like a coach mean and look like?"
