| employee training programs for small businesses: The Business Playbook Chris Ronzio, 2021-10-05 Entrepreneur, CEO, or business leader: no matter your title, the success of your company is a responsibility-and weight-that lies squarely on your shoulders. In the beginning, increased control was an asset that bought you peace of mind. But now, without the structure your business needs to thrive, you're overworked, overwhelmed, and unsure of the path ahead. Fortunately, everything that makes your company work can be captured and put to work for you. In The Business Playbook, serial entrepreneur Chris Ronzio walks you through his proven framework for building a playbook: the profile of your business, the people who work in it, the policies that guide it, and the processes that operate it. He shows you how to codify your culture and create a living document that allows you to let go of day-to-day responsibilities and empower your team to run the business without you. If you want to build a company that doesn't rely on you putting in more hours, this book will show you the way. |

| employee training programs for small businesses: Small business workforce development consortia provide needed services. , 2001 In each of the four communities we visited, consortia were formed in response to individual community economic and workforce development needs. In some locations, these needs were identified and examined through formal studies on the community's workforce conditions and future economic challenges. For example, in Charlotte, North Carolina, business leaders working with other community organizations sought to identify strategies to continue the business growth of the area while exploring potential weaknesses in the local economy. In these communities, local public and private organizations joined together to address existing and emerging workforce development Issues. Consortia varied somewhat in membership and activities according to their area's needs and resources but were characterized by a strong business focus. Consortia were typically lead by one or two key organizations, such as the chamber of commerce and community college. Other consortia members often included local school districts, workforce investment boards, business and trade associations, and unions. In three of the four locations we visited, officials from consortia organizations had established intermediary entities to help link all consortium organizations and to act as a broker or provider of services. |

| employee training programs for small businesses: The State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) Marcus Powell, 2013 The SSBCI provides funding to states, territories, and eligible municipalities to expand existing or to create new state small business investment programs, including state capital access programs, collateral support programs, loan participation programs, loan guarantee programs, and venture capital programs. This book examines the SSBCI and its implementation, including Treasury's response to initial program audits conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office and Treasury's Office of Inspector General.

Lean In continues that conversation, combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to change the conversation from what women can’t do to what they can. Sandberg, COO of Meta (previously called Facebook) from 2008-2022, provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career. She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment, and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women both in the workplace and at home. |
