The Process-Driven Approach to Business Success
In this episode, Butch Zemar dives into why process matters more than results when it comes to business growth and sustainability. CFOs and HR leaders often focus on revenue and cost-cutting, but Zemar argues that these are just byproducts of a well-structured strategy. Businesses that rely solely on sales tactics without refining their internal processes ultimately face inefficiencies, stagnation, and increased risk. Drawing comparisons to professional athletes, daily discipline and incremental improvements drive long-term success, rather than chasing short-term wins.
