At some point in business growth, the founder needs to decide if they want to be the visionary or management leader.
As the team grows, this founder must decide if they want to mentor and develop the next leader. And if they do want to mentor and develop, they must assess their management training and leadership skills, capacity, and patience.
For those that want a successful, thriving, multi-generation business, it is time to introduce leadership coaching and management training programs. It is also time to hire yourself a business coach or psychologist to provide mental help on being open to your upcoming leader’s ideas and need for rising levels of authority. The goal is to evolve with the least amount of hesitation and anxiety, while maintaining a healthy work culture and openness to change.
