Business Control

This article is on maintaining business control. Often, business owners are in charge of their businesses at the inception. They understand every activity going on. They tend to keep up with the small number of workers and customers they serve.

However, the dynamic changes when business moves from startup to growth phase. The number of workers increase, the customer base increases and revenue start pouring in. At this point most business owners tend to want to handover control to other managers and consultants. This sometimes changes the operational structure of the organization in a way that the owner might not have envisaged.

Except you have built a very robust systems and have loyal and committed staff, it is advisable that you still maintain control of your organization.

“Every business owner is responsible for the success or failure of the business…Maintain control”

Never turnover complete control of your company to anyone! As owner, and head steward, you should retain responsibility for your own company.

Learn to democratize power and authority within your company. No single individual should monopolize data, system, decision making and resource control.
