It is a disease that suffer most entrepreneurs. It is painful, debilitating and fatal for the company. I call it "entrepreneur's disease."
So what is entrepreneur's disease? Well, quite simply, it is caused by a leader of the fascination of working with "in" the business and not "on" the business. Michael E. Gerber bestselling book The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Do not Work and What to do first brought the concept to my attention, and his book, as reading, I see this nasty habit of leaders everywhere.
What 'In "the business works? It is entrepreneurs and executives who were consistently and constantly interested in the little tiny details of the execution of the company's day-to-day operations. Micro-management team members, persevere to observe and analyze the numbers, and basically a slowdown in the growth of the company.
In the corporate world, I know it's hard. The resources are incredibly limited. You might be the only member of the team, so you is slice the chef and a bottle at the end. They are likely to stay late at night and do the books. You are likely to get up early advance prepare inventory or production for the day.
Working "on" the business is all about being incredibly confident and focused your daily activities in third to be divided. Large entrepreneurs and managers in larger organizations (for that matter also) know that they have to spend a third of their time every day .:
- The Future This means Vision, purpose, to understand the changing environment and make sure strategies are developed and actioned to constantly keep your competitive edge.
- message. belong in every comer of the interaction in the business. Employees, customers (including sales), investors, colleagues, management, the Union, partners, suppliers and subcontractors, consultants and bankers, to name a few. No leader is an island to yourself, and you must make sure that from every source possible support for your plan recruitment. Without communication with your employees, they will not know what looks good ", and they will do something, be forced - which ends with the team members all rowing in different directions on If you do not ever sell, you will wake up one day and there. will be no customers.
- the Business. This is where you spend obtained time on the company's day-to-day operations. to ensure that the plans on the right way, people work and customers get what they paid for. the danger is that most business owners and managers have a kind of functional expertise. This is where their "sweet spot" or comfort level is and to the detriment of the company in which they spend all of their time.
ensures that "on" the business work takes incredible discipline and focus. Raw energy and passion you can work with "in" the business for a short time to escape. But to build without communication, sales, replicable structure and to focus on strategic growth, you will notice that revenues are flattening, costs will continue to rise, the productivity will reach a plateau and customer satisfaction will falter.
When this happens, then start, most business owners and managers to work harder and burnout faced. Start immediately to map out how you can be "in" the business to work from work "On" to move the business. Become a strategic business leaders is simple than you think. All it takes is strategic thinking, concentration and discipline.
