| This is the fourth in a unique series of books on running small and medium-sized businesses, written specifically to help the enterprises grow successfully and avoid the mistakes that ruin so many. The problems vary from personality clashes to running out of cash, ill-thought out expansion plans, and misconceived acquisitions. Short, concisely written, and with clear, helpful advice, this is the essential guide—borne from great experience—to help businesses grow successfully. The role of the founder and owner in the growing owner-managed business is pivotal but paradoxical. Without the owner the business would not exist, but if the business is to grow, the owner's role must evolve as well. This handy and informative guide looks at the role of the owner and how it changes as the business grows and develops a life of its own. |
