It’s intriguing to observe how many business owners struggle to truly let go. Even when they appoint someone as General Manager, they tend to scrutinize every move, doubt decisions, and even invite other employees to voice concerns about the GM’s actions.
Let me share this perspective I’ve come to embrace: there are companies out there that run more efficiently than mine, and that means I’m not the ultimate leader, not even for my own company.
Think about it. If another company can outperform yours, then there’s a possibility of finding a leader better suited for the job. However, this can only materialize if you step aside and allow them the space to lead.
At the inception of our business, I might have believed it was unique, and in many ways, it still is, with no exact model to follow. Yet, I’ve come to realize that this notion could be a self-imposed limitation I’ve accumulated over time, rather than an actual barrier.
So, our strategy has shifted towards earnestly practicing what we preach. We’re devotedly adhering to the ActionCOACH system we advocate to others, and the outcome is remarkable.
The takeaway? Treat your business the way we advise you to treat your business. Embrace the blueprint, take the steps, and watch the transformation unfold.
It’s a path to attaining the freedom you probably envisioned when you embarked on this entrepreneurial journey.
