How to manage getting the job done!
In small businesses, defined as under fifty employees, it’s the business owner who must envision what the business will be, how it will work, and inspiring customers, staff, vendors, and community to support the business. And that’s not all. As you know, and maybe experienced, business owners need to manage getting the job done, either by themselves or through others.
Most business owners except the responsibility of both leading the business and working in the business.
The challenge for many business owners is in managing their operation.
Recently, two business owners told me that they needed to improve their management skills. Each of them said that they were overwhelmed with their management duties. They were really saying they needed to improve their ability to achieve superior performance through their staff.
In the coming weeks, I will provide you with a series of stories about ways to successfully manage staff in your small business.
