Taking New Ground?

At Rootstock we are all about coming alongside you when you’re taking new ground.  Whatever ground you're taking you we suggest three things to be successful:

  1. You need to be a person worth following.

  2. You need to provide clarity around purpose, vision and values. 

  3. You need to build a great team.

Being a person worth following is all about being authentic and approachable. Being authentic when you’re taking new ground looks like being comfortable in your own skin and being okay knowing that you don’t know everything that lies ahead. Being approachable is about having the humility to be open to feedback and being able to take advice and tweak your plan when it makes sense. 

You will also need to provide crucial clarity in the areas of Purpose, Vision and Values. You will need to have a compelling “why” for your new venture, the inspiring reason people would come along with you on this new journey (Purpose). You need to have a clearly defined destination that is simple and bold (Vision). And you will need to hold the fort on what kinds of behaviors will be tolerated, celebrated and rejected along the way (Values). 

You also need to build a great team. You need to get the right people in the right seats. You need to motivate and develop them. You need to give them a path to grow. And you need to help them lean into healthy conflict when necessary to maintain a healthy culture.
