Spartanize Your Business part 5- Exposing Your Business Model Flaws, Cracks
“Ferocious Spartan way — applying ferociously effective techniques to your business”
You do want to have the Spartan type of ruling class in your business just NOT OVERTLY. The Spartans had what was called the Homoioi which was the 10,000 member war your class that made the rule. They had a middle class of about 50, 000, and a working poor class of around 250,000 (Helots which they routinely strangled to death as a rite of passage before their boys could become warrior men).
You’ll want to have this type of pyramid structure in your business. However, you don’t want it to be overtly known to your employees.
You want to encourage feeedback and creative problem solving at all levels of your business organization. The sales reps talking on the phone may find a missing chink in the marketing which is taking them mountains of time to deal with live. A simple letter of explanation could be added to your marketing series to clear this up and free volumes of time for your reps.
A good idea is worth hearing no matter what level it comes. Just have an organizational chart people can refer to, stay organized, and foster an environment where your employees want to be members of and support your “state” which is your business.
