trust is at the core of a company, it's easy
to recognize. Trust defined, is assured
reliance on the character, ability,
strength, and truth of a business.

everything in your power to gain the
trust of past customer's and clients,
particularly if something has gone awry.
Reclaim any lost business by honouring
all commitments and obligations.
15. • Keep An Open Mind
For continuous improvement of a
company, the leader of an organization
must be open to new ideas. Ask for
opinions and feedback from both
customers and team members and your
company will continue to grow.
16. • Have Clear Documents
Re-evaluate all print materials including
small business advertising, brochures,

Take a hands-on approach to accounting

any "questionable " activities. Gaining
control of accounting and record
keeping allows you to end any dubious
activities promptly.
