THERE COMES A TIME WHEN:
-
The owner can’t control everything
-
The owner can’t make all of the decisions
-
The owner can’t be involved in all of
the services
-
The
owner can’t be everything to everyone
-
The owner can’t
be totally responsible for the success of the business
-
The
owner cannot be the business
THIS IS THE TIME WHEN:
- Most entrepreneurial organizations fail,
stagnate, or are sold
- Many opportunities are lost
- Many entrepreneurs experience failure
or burnout
- Many families become distressed
- The structure of the business
must change
- The owner must change roles
THIS IS THE TIME FOR A VISION
A TIME FOR NEW ROLES AND NEW GOALS:
- Building a business becomes
the main goal
- The owner replaces control with leadership
and coaching
- The owner replaces doing with delegations and
mentoring
- The business is developed to operate independently
of the owner
- Systems, policies, and procedures replace direct
control
- The resources of the business are focused on creating
and exploring
new opportunities
- The demands for market exploration exceed
the entrepreneurs service ability
- Entrepreneurial abilities are extended through
others
- There is no direct operational responsibility for the entrepreneur
- If you can’t visualize a new role, you can’t
execute one
THIS IS A TIME WHEN:
- Authority seeks the lowest effective level
- Reactive becomes
proactive
- Individuals become leaders
- Leaders guide a capable team
- Owner becomes the coach
- Vision spreads throughout the organization
- Business becomes
more effective than the founder
- Company takes on a life of
it’s own
- Business continuity becomes a reality
