As Successful as a Successful Movie

A movie's success depended upon the setting, the mood, the script, the skills of the director, and the overall talent of the cast. Same for a company.

1. Setting. Setting here refers to the vision, mission and goals of the business. If your business has no goals and vision, the setting will be one of ad hoc. It also includes the structure, rules and boundaries.

2. Mood, which is simply morale and the connection feeling in the company. If people feel connected, their morale will be high, and motivation is not an issue.

3. Script. This is your company's plans and operations manual on how people perform their roles. It also includes the day-to-day operational conversation script, how people speak in a consistent and professional way.

4. Skills of Director. This is the skillfulness of the leaders. Skillfulness is more than having skills, it is doing things mindfully and with conviction. Of course the more trained the leaders are, the more skillfull they can do their job.

5. Cast Talent. This is the skills and skillfulness of the team. It also means some kind of talent or inborn skills, like your salespeople and IT staff.
