About this episode

This episode discusses how to grow a family business by improving team responsibility and fostering a culture of problem-solving.

If everyone in your business improved by just 1%, what would that be worth in a year's time? In this episode, Mark and Caroline introduce the first half of their GIPD framework and explain why every single person in your business should be responsible for moving the business forward. You'll discover the difference between growing something and improving something, why tiny gains across every department create massive results, and how to stop being a business full of problem spotters and start building a team of problem solvers. If your business feels stuck despite everyone working hard, this episode will give you a completely different way to think about growth. Growth isn't reserved for leadership.
