Ateneo Entrepreneurship
January 5, 2016
Business entrepreneurship success begins with self awareness and personal mastery. It can not be achieved by attending a seminar or series of seminar, employing a consultant, or even attending a graduate school of business.
I have advised a number of individuals on their business difficulties and found out that their organizations are OK, and even the external environment has many opportunities, few threats that favor the success of the business. But the business continue to flounder. Why because of the owner. They want to exercise full control that is why they can not tolerate delegation, strategy that are inconsistent with their world view, or merely become authentic. They rant and curse and engage in gossip, run business in a very personal manner (they change procedure daily - no set manual)
Most difficult to deal with are doctors who are frivolous who will not value the time of people other than their patients. They are impatient and think and behave above the rest. They are also used to being center of attention of pharma reps.
The good starting point of becoming a good businessman/leader is to focus first on self awareness and self mastery
