His company helps small and mid-sized organizations improve execution by defining and reinforcing company culture. Hamilton emphasizes the importance of clear decision-making, especially under pressure, and the need for leaders to set boundaries and accountability. “What good looks like, what is the standard people are being held to,” he says. “What do they need to achieve in their day-to day-behaviors, not just values on a wall, and how leaders reinforce those behaviors and especially accountability, so that teams can move forward without second guessing and, frankly, with as little supervision as possible.” The Small Business Association of Michigan is the only statewide and state-based association that focuses solely on serving the needs of Michigan’s small business community.
