Why Model Of Olympic Athletes Is Bad For Your Small Business
"Hi Heather, Thanks for commenting. As small business owners, we do want to find that thing that maximizes our performance as leaders and managers. We want to be excellent, the best. It is also important to take into consideration that there is a lot to absorb. It takes time and experience of the day-in and day-out rather than aiming for the big event."Why Model Of Olympic Athletes Is Bad For Your Small Business
"Hi Elaine, Thanks for adding how you agree and disagree with my post. My concern for small business owners is that if they act as if they improved one thing, they will be more successful. Olympic athletes dedicate their energies to their sport and sacrifice so much for a single goal. This is certainly admirable! But for small business owners, they have to weigh how they approach their roles as leaders and managers and how these choices affect their lives beyond work as well. Maybe the question lies in the exit strategy for each business owner. Are you building something you want for 10-20 years, to sell or to pass on? "Women In Biz-Do We Limit Ourselves?
"Sherisad, Thank you for adding your comment to this conversation! Wouldn't it be great to check gender at the door?! The tough part is taking the time to examine our own beliefs about gender and what keeps us from removing these lenses. Well worth the effort and it will eliminate distractions when men and women are at the table together. ~Elli "Women In Biz-Do We Limit Ourselves?
"Niall, It sounds like you picked up an important aspect to the women-centric groups. I remember a conversation at a networking event in which he told me that I wasn't "really in business" because I had small children. This is easy to say when you are not expected to be the primary caretaker of a family. Are these expectations fair? Absolutely not! Is it fair to assume that a woman will not perform and compete at the highest levels because she might have personal obligations? Certainly not! And yet, these are some of the attitudes underlying many conversations in the business world. ~Elli"Subscribe
