The Big Idea: Introducing the Essentials Leadership Curve. Now there’s a perfect solution for Startups & Small Businesses to make business improvement - business as usual.

The Leadership Curve is the heartbeat of the Waymaker platform. By asking and answering the 7 Questions - businesses big or small can get an objective view of the health of their organisation and begin to make real, measurable changes to grow their business.

What is the Waymaker Leadership Curve?

The Waymaker Leadership Curve is a way of making sense of everything going on inside your organization. In making sense of it, you can begin to build clarity around what you're doing - while you're doing it.

Your business is a bunch of complex systems and processes working together at the same time. Each system is never working in isolation. How well, for example, does vision align with the market you're talking to? And then, how well does that align with the strategic position and growth you're actually making? And how well do those things align with the business model that's creating the value proposition for the customer? How do the customer’s journey and customer’s experience align with the experience of the employees in your organisation so you can attract and grow the right talent?

All these things are continually interacting in real-time, every minute of every day inside your business.

Waymaker takes all these aspects of your business and helps you identify and observe how these things are impacting your overall objectives.

The final area the Leadership Curve helps your business is Execution. How can we turn ideas and initiatives into goals that shift the needle on your business?

For some however, the sheer volume of data points available to business owners and employees through the Leadership Curve can be overwhelming. If you’re just starting out, a simplified curve might just be the best option for you.
