Business Intuition: Redefining Success

July 5th, 2008

Let me ask you this:
- If your company is making money but your customer are dissatisfied, are you being successful?
- If your CEO is working 80 hours a week and is on the brink of a heart attack, are you being successful?
- If you experience high turn over, absenteeism or alcohol in the workplace, are you being successful?

We live in a fabulously rich country and yet most people are unhappy with their jobs, work more hours a week and have less vacation days than any other industrial country like Japan, Canada or Britain and they don’t feel they can achieve life/work balance. 

How long can we keep this up?  Burning out brilliant minds, breaking up marriages and financing costly medical plans to cover stress induced illnesses.  This is not a sustainable strategy for business success.  And yet, we keep trying to define corporate success in terms a “net profit no matter what” approach.

But at some point, we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel.  Profit margins are shrinking, jobs are lost to outsourcing or downsizing and we’re replacing quality with quantity when it comes to hours worked.  As if pedaling faster in the wrong direction could somehow lead us to a successful destination.

So what now?  Slowly but surely, some businesses have realized that rested executives make better decisions, happy employees are more productive and eager to satisfy customers and happy customers are loyal and bring more business.  Even if this means more time off, flexible schedules, job sharing, training and other expenses that target a simple concept: happiness.

Sustainable business success is not just about the financial bottom line.  It’s about creating inviting, inspiring and supportive work environments so that every employee can thrive, both personally and professionally, while creating new venues for business profits.  A business works much better when it works for everyone involved.

But how do you find those great ideas that can turn your boat around and fuel sustainable business success?  That’s where business intuition comes in.  There is no technique that will work for every business.  But there is always something that will work for your company.  You just have to find it.  And it must take into account the state of your industry, your company culture, your financial resources and so many other factors. 

How can you possibly compile all these critical factors without using your intuition or what most CEOs call their gut feelings?  When you’re tapping into your intuition, you are freed from rational left brain limitations which constantly argue that everything is too expensive or impossible.  Instead, you are exploring the creative right brain which handles complexity through abstract thinking and creativity. 

That’s where you’ll find your strategy for sustainable business success.

In love,
Elise Lebeau, M.Sc.

The Business Intuition Niche - We’re Making Progress!

June 21st, 2008

I've noticed more and more searches on Google are
using the keywords "business intuition". It's still very sporadic but
still, there's a trend. So what will it take to bring this concept in
mainstream business conversations?

Well, probably a few more
years. And a more systematic approach to intuition overall. This field
has been plagued with dial-a-psychic connotations and the
fuzzy-gut-feeling concepts, making it difficult to get a credible
approach to strategic intuition.

Yet, every successful CEO is
using intuition, whether she calls it that or something else. Business
is a fluctuating world where you have to make decisions with limited
factual information. That exactly the Business Intuition niche.

Business
Intuition is a unique opportunity to turn sporadic "gut feelings" into
a systematic right-brain approach to decision making. It's not about
predicting the future or reading people's minds. Business intuition
allows you to leverage all the little pieces of information that are
scattered all over your conscious and subconscious mind. By bringing it
all together in a coherent "whole", you are more likely to create
lasting results than by just guessing or hoping it turns out well…

And
when you consider that both Oprah and Trump attribute their success to
following their intuition, it makes that approach pretty darn
interesting.

So there's still a long ways to go but we are making
progress! I was very surprised and so excited to get a call from Intel
(an Engineering firm, no less!) asking me to speak at their employee
conference about Business Intuition. They were specifically looking for
an approach to Intuition that kept it relevant to the business
world…A perfect match for my work in this domain.

So even
though the trend is just beginning, it's definitely gathering momentum.
And in business, there's nothing more exciting than momentum!

Business Intuition: How to keep your employees happy and creative

December 5th, 2007

Millions of Americans get up every morning and go to work in Corporate
America. How many do you think feel proud, inspired, supported in their
work environment? How many feel happy?

Corporate America was bled to death by the downsizing and outsourcing eras.
Employers and employees have become enemies, struggling against each other in a desperate effort to stay alive.   In order to stay competitive, American businesses commonly have to resort to cut throat strategies, legal or not.

The
small business owner, the franchise retail store, the big financial
corporation, we’re all affected by this. It’s pervasive, like a poison
working its way through a living organism. And it doesn’t matter how we
got there. The fact remains that we’re now facing a wide spread
cultural contamination. This is clearly not a sustainable business
strategy for Corporate America.

Fundamentally, everyone wants
the same thing: to be happy. Whether it’s through money, power, social
status, relationships, material possessions. It’s all one big quest to feel better.  Heck, we fight wars so we can feel better and less afraid!

But
it’s easy to get backed into a corner. When you strip down every once
of happiness from the work place, you’re starving everyone from the
thing they most desire. And if you’ve ever been really hungry, you know
that by then you’ll eat just about anything…even things that are bad
for you.

People fundamentally want to do good.
They want to be successful. They want the company to make profits. They
want to help the customer. They want to facilitate their coworkers’
job. But when the company doesn’t support their ability to feel happy
at work, you’ve got a ticking time bomb sitting at that desk.

There’s costly consequences to unhappy employees and partners:

1) Their ability to generate profits is greatly limited.  Unless you’re using fear or greed to motivate your troops (which is not a sustainable success
strategy since it’s not based on what people want), they won’t be
interested in going the extra mile, finding new ways to be more
efficient or taking good care of an annoying client. You’ve just shot
down their creativity.  And if anybody can tell you the real pulse of your business, it’s those people in the trenches.

2) They will start to look for ways to "feed" their need to be happy with whatever they can get their hands on.  That’s a fertile ground for embezzling, back stabbing, drug use and absenteeism.

Of
course, being an employer doesn’t mean you have to become everyone’s
mommy. Some people have problems in their personal lives and that’s not
for you to solve. But ignoring or countering employees’ needs to be
happy at work is probably costing more than trying to find creative
ways to meet those needs.

The question is:  How can you support happiness in the work place without plundering your profits?

Benefits
costs money, raises cost money, time off costs money…Yes. But what do
you think you’ll find if you look behind the request for benefits,
raises and time off? A desire to be happy!
Why not cut the middle man and finds ways to keep your employees happy without always dipping in your bank account?

This is where Business Intuition comes in.  Using your intuition in business can open the door to creative solutions you didn’t even know existed!  And in order to find these solutions, you can leverage your best asset: your people!

Business Intuition is not just for CEOs.
Every employee in your company can be taught to use their intuition. We
tend to associate strong business instincts with CEOs because you
really can’t be a good leader if you don’t know how to use your
intuition. You might not call it Business Intuition. You might not even
be able to teach other people how they can do what you do. But if you
ever had to make tough decisions in times of uncertainty, it’s a
guaranteed fact that you have used Business Intuition.

When an
employee knows how to leverage their intuition, they can start having
ideas on how to become more efficient, more profitable, more helpful,
more successful…in short, happier. Your job is to facilitate this process.  Give them the tools their need to use their intuition and listen to what they come up with!

Not
every situation calls for Business Intuition. And not every solution
acquired through intuition is immediately applicable. Most of the time,
it needs some "tweaking" to make it realistic and effective. But it is
the beginning of a Corporate American that we’ll want to work for.
Widespread use of Business Intuition is really the future of Corporate
America.

Empowering employees to feel happier in their workplace by using Business Intuition is a sustainable success strategy.   

"You can give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
Teach him how to fish and  he will eat for the rest of his life."
  -Kwan Tzu
