Should You Fire Yourself Before Your Business Grows Again?
"Martin, Often enough and then the company either stagnates or fails. I can certainly understand why someone would feel reluctant to recruit someone else to act as CEO of the company. There is a great deal of emotion invested in the company. No one will ever feel as intensely about the business. There may be other reasons such as not knowing what to do next for work or getting cold feet/lacking trust in the chosen replacement. Underneath it all, if the owner/founder doesn't want to give up the role of CEO, then other choices have to be made: ~Is this a lifestyle company? ~Am I willing to learn what skills I'm good at and what needs attention? ~Am I willing to be humble myself and learn? This determines if the plan for growth can be effectively implemented. "Small Business Advice Programme - Interview with John McSweeney
"Sometimes corporate and political connections do work well (said entirely tongue in cheek). Nonetheless, the Small Business Advice programme is a great service for established small business owners. An under-served group, in my book. It is such a gift when you get to share a question, concern or hope with someone more experienced. As this time of transition continues, small businesses can use this service to re-focus, plan and take action that will keep them going."Subscribe
