Business Leaders Stepping Back to Move Forward

Leaving the office is hard. 


There’s always one last task to accomplish, one last email to send…  But every minute that you spend working on tasks that can be delegated is a minute that you are not planning, strategizing and building the best business possible for the future.

So, when is the last time you or your leadership team took a step back to work on the business rather than in it? 

If you’re drawing a blank, EntreCon® 2019 may be the perfect opportunity to take a step back in order to move forward. 

We realize that many small-to-medium business owners and leaders are nervous about being absent for multiple days, especially if you're struggling with things like turnover, process improvement or employee engagement.  You're not alone!  We guarantee EntreCon® 2019 will be an effective use of your time and worth it in the long run (so much so that we offer all attendees a money-back guarantee if they're not satisfied after the conference).

With that said, here are three reasons why Nov. 13-14 is the perfect time to step out of the office:

1. Professional Nourishment 
“Nourishment” is defined as “the substance necessary for growth, health, and good condition.” A business and leadership conference like EntreCon® can bring nourishment back into your life (and work) as it encourages, motivates, and inspires you and your team. Investing in growth shows that you care about yourself, your team and the future of your organization. In return, you’ll all come back to work with fresh ideas and tactics to make your company better and stronger in the long-run.

2. Performance Growth
According to a study by the Center for Creative Leadership, companies rated highly for their investment in employee development deliver stock market returns five times higher than those of companies with less emphasis. Leadership development builds capacity to reduce costs, drive new lines of revenue, and improve customer satisfaction. As McBassi writes: “Superior human capital management is an extremely powerful predictor of an organization’s ability to outperform its competition.” So, why not step away, learn and in return, increase your company performance?

3. Close Proximity
We’re proud to say that attending EntreCon® is easy because it is close to home. The fees associated with air travel and hotel costs are avoided, and you’re not physically traveling far from your place of work. Multiple breaks are scattered throughout the 2-day agenda, so you’ll still have time to “check-in” at the office or answer important phone calls throughout the day.

Don’t feel guilty or nervous about taking a step back for a few days away from the office. More than likely, it's exactly what you and your leadership team need to need to drive the organization forward.
