Yes, it’s important to hire. Yes, it’s important to delegate. Yes, team makes all things possible.
BUT there is something that many business owners aren’t prepared for when they start hiring.
The management trap.
Let’s first dig in and define what management is.
- Management is about planning – taking a goal and turning it into an actionable plan
- Management is about people – ensuring the right folks are on the team to execute on the plan
- Management is about process – finding the best way to get the work done
- Management is about progress – seeing the plan through to completion and getting stuff done!
- Checking in with the team to make sure stuff is getting done
- Thinking constantly about what is coming up
- Wondering if they have the right folks on the team or not
- Answering team questions
- Trying to figure out the best way to get things done
- Dealing with the ‘odds and ends’ that come up in the day to day running of the business
