Leadership and Business
Growth Specialist
Having taken a company from $250,000 in sales to over $12 million in sales, Laurie’s perspective on enterprise growth comes from her own experience and the background research of the 7 Stages of Growth enterprise development model.
Committed to helping business owners succeed, Laurie’s real-time experience in starting and growing a business taps into the realities of leadership and management the two hardest aspects of running any business.
While running a 100+ employee company, the opportunity to learn that reality was present everyday. As a business growth specialist, Laurie’s commitment is to help business owners and executive leaders embrace and respect the intelligence that exists within each employee in order to grow and sustain a profitable enterprise.
Laurie’s goal is to help business leaders reduce their ’employee anxiety’ and to create ‘dialogues’ around key indicators that encourage the employee to succeed and address the goals of the company.
Laurie is adept at helping business leaders understand how employees see the company aligning this ’employee’ view with the business leader’s view. Her experience with open book management, the powerful tool that gets employees thinking like ‘owners’ can change the course of profitability for a company in months, not years.
As a successful business owner, Laurie is well versed in all aspects of business operations. She focuses on aligning a business leader’s issues with the research on a unique growth model, the 7 Stages of Growth, based on the number of employees in a company. This includes setting up a solid financial base, focusing on core competencies, engaging staff and creating key indicators that measure success based on a specific stage of growth.
Accomplished Business Growth Speaker
“Business Owners International is a group of business owners of privately held manufacturing companies that come together to learn from each other by sharing experiences and best practices. We seldom invite speakers, but I have known Laurie for over 10 years and asked her to share her 7 Stages of Growth with our members. Laurie hit a home run. She received 9’s and 10’s from our members and two of them asked her to share her Stage of Growth X-Ray™ with their teams. We have invited Laurie to be a BOI Knowledge resource. She is the 4th person to be selected over the past 15 years.”
“Before I tallied the evaluation forms, I knew that you were a hit! You were able to appeal to a group of business owners and top executives who are diverse in their industries, in their stage of business and in the sizes of their organizations. As I mentioned to you, this market has many one-person businesses, but I also have some of the largest employers in the region as members. You addressed the entire range with great success.”
“Laurie Taylor conducted a 4-hour workshop on the Stages of Growth for 30+ company CEOs, plus several of their management team. She effectively walked the entire group of companies to a clear understanding of this dynamic business model. In addition, she facilitated exercises that allowed the CEOs and their executives to begin to map out plans on how to manage their businesses. She had all parties engaged throughout the workshop. The 7 Stages of Growth are the GPS of business growth in that they provide clarity, focus and direction. Several companies that attended are now implementing the tools and processes that will lead to growth and improved profitability. I recommend Laurie Taylor and the Stages of Growth to any business entity.”
