Learning from the Best

Taking from the Expert in Your Field

All of us have wished or wondered what it would be like to have an expert around that we could “pick their brain” and get our questions answered, and see what they do to be successful. Often this thought comes along when we are faced with a challenge or a problem that we have not come across before. In the field of accounting, you have direct access to one of the best!

You’ve seen him on the instructional DVD’s and possibly read his book (click here to see In The Black). You have maybe been able to see him and learn from him in person at our amazing Universal Practice Builder 2 day Seminar. Now you can get your does of his knowledge on an ongoing basis with his blog.

Allen’s brand new blog has covered topics from Accounting Profitability to Teamwork. You can now see what’s on the top of the mind from the force that pushes Universal Accounting Center forward. Here’s an excerpt from his blog.

“There’s no question in my mind: employees are the most important asset a company has. A company can have the finest offices, equipment, and products available on the market, and they will be outsold every time, if the employees aren’t the focus.

For that reason, I’ve always disliked the reference often made of management as “superiors”. I feel every person in the Company fills a critical role to the business regardless of their pay and position. That means that management is no better or superior, just different roles.In working with the staff at Universal Accounting Center, I subscribe to the STAR System that we developed. All of our employees are STARs. It’s anacronym for:

Set standards for performanceTrust them to make good decisions for their jobsAcknowledge their accomplishments and contributionsReward them for excellent performance

I find that people rise to the needs of their position if given enough direction, and encouragement. They must first understand the value they bring to the business, and how their contribution impacts everyone. They must furthermore be aware of what is expected of them, and how they can know whether or not they are meeting that expectation. We call this setting the standard for performance.”

This is only an example on what Allen has posted on www.allenbostrom.com. Bookmark the site and come back often to see what new innovations, what issues he’s thinking about, and what’s on the horizon with Universal’s resident expert.
