Own the Goal! Tips for Empowering Teams to Innovate

Marty Abbott and Mike Fisher

November 20, 2013

In today’s fast-paced business world, scale requires empowering teams to innovate freely and a team-wide commitment to achieving key business goals.

Today, the game has changed. As AKF Partners co-founders Marty Abbott and Mike Fisher explain in the video below, leadership and company development now has everything to do with empowering teams to own specific business goals that contribute to the greater business good. To do that, Abbott says companies need to create an autonomous culture that encourages employees iterate and innovate against business goals that contribute to the process of scale.
