Ingenuity: The Path to Growth



If the goal of college is to earn a degree, the price is much too high. A degree is not required, but often helps adults acquire an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Corporations recognize, value and reward employees who are able to teach themselves new skills.  Small businesses have fewer resources, however that does not have to limit ingenuity. With the advent of free or low cost corporate training, and the ability to design and publish online courses to provide standardized training, and share resources, new talent can propel a small business into the big league.

Hiring a big wig might work in a corporate setting. Small businesses are more inclined to grow talent. Aptitude and vision are necessary, but not sufficient. Employees with the ingenuity and willingness to marry operations and identify and motivate new talent are good candidates for succession.
