No business plan in 2020 had Covid contingency plan on it. No one had a crystal ball that told us exactly what will happen and 2020 taught us that very quickly. Our ability to map a business future is possible, and we are looking back at 2020 at four key areas that affected a business trading success and how we can learn to map our future success.

• Preparedness

• Ability to act

• Agility to react, respond and pause.

• Limitations of a 12-month perspective

We reflect a lot in our business; it's critical. Critical because it develops our skills, competencies, failings, perspectives, and opportunities and identifies growth areas. Most importantly, reflection allows us to challenge and question how we add value.

We live and work by seasonal thinking and making decisions by our values.

This seasonal reflection creates change, iterations, tweaks, adjustments a steady evolution. It can positively affect your business, leadership style, success, and outcomes.

Our core product, the 24-month Framework, has evolved naturally from this thinking and action.

Firstly, let us explore why is this even a relevant question. Surely everyone sets up a business to grow it, don’t they? We have experienced that most people who set up, run (or take over) a business have the want and desire to be successful, yet usually, they have not even considered how it would grow; there is an expectancy that growth would just happen!

Well, not 99, 7 actually!

Using our RLC 7 Daily Leadership Principles, we share how a framework of principles can personalise your style and create the skill to be the best leader you can be.

Here are a few of the worst ones

What do we mean by future-proofing?

Initially, the technology industry created this word to design software, content, and more linked products to be still used in the future even when technological change occurs. However, it has now morphed across our wider lives into protecting ourselves from external change.

We will use future-proofing in the context of looking at how we can enhance our ability to protect ourselves and our business from any future external influence through our internal actions. So the time has come for us to focus on a new level of thinking, which has been here the whole time

For the last 30 years, we have lived in a time where society has become so much is done by the few.  It is up to us to decide whether the circumstances of COVID-19 will give us a chance to readdress this and decide if we are serious about the forced lessons placed on us right now around the world.

Humankinship has a series of attributes that we have to make a choice about do we do them or not?
