A False Assumption Made by Too Many Aspiring Entrepreneurs
In his best selling book, The E-Myth Revisited, Michael Gerber said that most people fall victim to the most disastrous assumption anyone can make about going into business. He calls it 'The Fatal Assumption'. That Fatal Assumption is: if you understand the technical work of a business, you understand a business that does that technical work.

It’s rarely about strategy, culture, benefits packages, and perks when it comes to keeping great employees. While those conditions may help to initially attract your people, they're not the key factors for keeping people engaged, motivated and productive. The reality is: People quit managers; not companies.  If you don’t want them to quit your managers, you need to develop a management team with practical leadership skills that stick. Too often top executives realize that their leadership team knows the business and are skilled technical people--but they are poor managers. To solve the problem, the organization will often spend top dollar to hire an excellent training company, which, in turn, delivers great training that everyone enjoys. However, in the end, the results are disappointing. Learn why and how to optimize your investmemt.
