Member You - Management by Delegation - Frying Pan, Fire or Neither?
In the modem world no business can afford to remain secretive because various parties such as creditors, employees, taxation authorities, investors, public and government etc., are interested to know about the affairs of the business. Affairs of the business can be studied mainly by consulting final accounts and the balance sheet of the particular b
I wonder why!

This is the first article of a multi-part series on this topic.Part One of this SPECIAL REPORT is about: Organizing Your GroupWould you agree that it's easier complete a job when you have a blueprint to follow? Yes?Also, the exact opposite maybe true which brings us to the old axiom:"Fail to plan, plan to fail"Usu
And then it's fixed, and you feel a rosy glow all about how you've 'helped'. But who is this about, you or them.
You see, it can be so frustrating, for someone already frustrated, when some smart-ass boss comes along to show their superiority. In fact, after it's fixed, all they get is a general feeling of inadequacy. And more frustration.
And next time they have the same problem, They can't remember what they did because you did it so fast, in such a smart-assed sort of way. They either need to wait for you to pass by again or, well, struggle again.
As a boss, it's easy to do something that you know how to do. In fact it's a big psychological boost to your little own sense of self, when you've achieved something that someone else is struggling with. So it's a 'nice' feeling to be better at something when someone else isn't.
It's not your fault, in fact it's not even an action you think consciously about, it just happens that way.
And with some bosses, it happens often. I know, I've done it myself. It comes out of another emotion too. It comes out of a sense of 'helping' someone in distress - it's the 'knight in shining armour' thing. And it feels good.
Yet, it has a big downside. Getting someone else out of their 'frying pan' gets you into another 'fire'. Because if you get so good at fixing other people's problems, that's what they'll expect of you. And wait for you to do it.
So, you frustrate the hell out of them because you fix things for them all the time and then they start waiting for you to be the problem-solver. Your 'fixing' everything starts to pile up on you. You then get frustrated with them because you have such 'useless' employees around you.

So often small business owners will attempt to tell the public and reader of a publication, yellow pages or Internet portal site, how great their company is, when they should be telling the company what they can do for them.For many years I had run a franchise company and we had specifications of what advertising we would and would not allow

This is the 'Neither'. You get the job done right, by the person whose job it is to get it right and then you are freed up to do more of this.
Thus building a team of capable, fulfilled and 'motivated to learn more' individuals.
No Frying Pan, no Fire and Neither of you feel bad about it.
In fact, everything is a bit rosy, after all!
