Why entrepreneurs can't manage

By Joanna L. Krotz: "Entrepreneurs who can drive startups are often not the leaders who can also steer businesses into the big time. When a founder does insist on managing his maturing company, trouble tends to follow. This has been demonstrated time and time again: Good builders make bad bosses."

A good follow on to the previous article. As a manager you can either command and control or collaborate. It's your choice, but you will probably have a much easier life, a more successful business, and a happier team if you choose the collaborative way. My advice is design your systems, train your team, and then trust them to improve on things!
