Do these issues sound familiar?
We Have No Vision of Where We Are Going
We have no idea where we’re heading. It feels like we’re just going with the flow without a real strategy.
No One Is Taking Accountability
No one is stepping up to take ownership. Decisions always come back to me.
I’m Always Putting Out Fires
I spend all my time dealing with daily problems rather than focusing on growing the business.
Undefined Roles and Responsibilities
The roles and responsibilities aren’t clear, and no one knows who is responsible for what.
The Same Problems Keep Coming Back
We cannot seem to solve problems, and the same issues keep coming up again and again.
Lack of Focus and Too Many Projects
We have too many projects simultaneously, so we cannot focus on what truly matters.
No Standard Processes
We don’t have a standard way of doing things. We keep reinventing the wheel.
Wasting Resources
We’re all over the place, wasting time and energy without accomplishing anything.
Endless, Unproductive Meetings
Our meetings drag on without solving anything, causing more frustration than providing solutions.
We Are Not Using Data for Management
We’re not using our data effectively, or at all, to make management decisions. We’re making decisions in the dark.

"Osman is fantastic to work with."
“Osman fantastic to work with. I collaborated with him the last 2 years on a project helping train disadvantaged community members to become food entrepreneurs in Turkey. I came into a highly dynamic situation with a team of 20 people, from four agencies and five sites, with three languages in play. At the center of all the teams at work in Turkey was Osman, and I always appreciated his calm and professional leadership.
Osman does an excellent job working across cultures and engaging with his subordinates at a personal level. He has a gift for engaging his team in discussions about context and purpose of the work, ensuring unity of effort and high motivation. He goes out of his way to monitor the needs of his subordinates and ensure they are supported in their work. As someone who teaches the core course in a #1 ranked undergraduate Entrepreneurship program, I can attest that Osman's personal interest and skill in, as well as his ongoing study of, entrepreneurship definitely enhances his effectiveness on our project. I would work with him again in any context.”
