Losing the Cape: Strategies to move your business from chaos to control

By Giles Johnston

Do you want less chaos and more control in your business?Many businesses operate in a state of chaos - people running around, working hard, and still only achieving a mediocre level of performance.
When crisis situations arise, we see the 'super-heroes' in our business put on their capes and come to the rescue. We celebrate these people for their ability to pull us out of the sticky stuff... but what if we accepted that this is a problem in disguise?
What if our heroes could put away their capes, re-direct their efforts and help transform the fortunes (and sanity) of the business?
What if our superheroes only wore their capes when the business was facing a genuine crisis, and not one that we have created through our own mismanagement? A practical, step-by-step solutionLosing the Cape provides a practical step-by-step-by step approach to reducing the chaos in your business. Your days don't have to be 'full pelt' trying to stay still, constantly dealing with crisis after crisis. Losing the Cape shares a range of strategies to help you get more control in your business.
The ideas contained in Losing the Cape are based on practical, real world, business transformation projects.
