Do You Run Your Business with a Pitchfork or Wheel...?

Are you the type of business owner/operator that operates their business using the pitchfork or wheel style? 

The pitchfork style has you dictating to your employees what to do, when to do it and how to do it. You have all the intellectual property in your head plus all the key relationships with vendors and clients residing with you?  No wonder you have the time, team and money stresses making you work harder for your business vs. the business work hard for you. 

In contrast the wheel style has you leading your team so they can make economic decision in your interest and they focus their energy delivering on time, spec, budget and wow products and services everytime.  And with delighted clients and customers they bring the wheel full circle with increasing revenues and profits to the owner. 

Wasn't the wheel style what you had in mind when you started your business where your focus is on attracting and developing great people vs. poking every business area?
