Focusing on outputs and productivity, in and of themselves is insufficient. For the growth of a business to be maintained long term, the humanity aspect cannot be overlooked or downplayed. Understanding how people can work together, utilizing each other’s strengths, shoring up each other’s weaknesses, is necessary for both the business and its people to thrive.
To discuss the humanity of long game business, I have with me (Kyle) for this podcast episode Mark Abbott, Visionary/Founder and CEO of Ninety.io. Mark shares how necessary it is to recognize the humanity of others and the importance of playing the right game, not just the lowest cost provider game. This works hand in hand with knowing yourself, having a coach to help you see things more clearly, and then structuring your business appropriately.
“In order to have long term-oriented success, you need to create an environment where people can play the long game, and enjoy playing the long game… So the humanity is creating an environment where 1+1+1 = 5.” -- Mark Abbott
