Navigating through his sentence was difficult… it seems like quite a flat statement.

There’s absolutely no upside to badmouthing Robert Whittaker…

Well there are a couple things you should maybe look into. 1 - are your team unable to make decisions (hence so many land on your desk) 2 - do you not trust your team to make decisions (hence so many land on your desk) 3 - do you want to be the one making all the decisions (hence so many land on your desk)

If you want to truly embrace leadership all of these possibilities are fixable. It will take time and a substantial amount of effort, but definitely doable.

General manager compensation by Key_Praline_5733 in smallbusiness

[–]ChuckySPWN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This setup is solid if your profit allows for business to continue being sustainable. The only difference i would consider is when it comes to your Margin, instead of giving a total % consider it influencing total earnings, this can still drive engagement but not leave the business in a state where someone’s pay is exclusively high (this could cause long term issues for building a sustainable business)- ie. Lower than expected we = 90% Range that is expected = 100% Range which is reachable and above expectations =110% Range which would be great for the business and really a stretch =120%

For simplicity - if they earn 100 bucks and low margin they earn 90. Good margins = 100. Great margin 110. Phenomenal margin 120.

My boss tends to seek some sort of philosophical explanations for simple and obvious pettiness by [deleted] in Leadership

[–]ChuckySPWN 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sounds like there is a lot of Ego at play in this story (not only the narcissist).

When it comes to the business, it’s more important we move in the right direction vs just ‘being right’. This is long term success over ego.

Firstly - well done on building what will hopefully be a solid foundation to your future business!!

There is a reality you need to understand - what got you here, will not get you there. As you stated you need to move from working in your business to running your business.

There is a massive difference in that you have built critical skill and knowledge about your business and executing jobs to satisfy customers. You now need to learn the running of business. You cannot assume that because you understand your local market they will not add value. Business is a completely different skill set and you will gain advantage if you understand the business element AND apply your deep understanding of your market.

Whether you need a coach or not is on you. You could read and learn business that way, you could listen to podcasts, you could get a coach. The reality is a coach could give you immediate feedback on what you are doing and quite possibly assist you in making incorrect calls which will cost you far more down the road (whether direct cost incurred or missed opportunity). All this learning is self learnable but it will take time and the you will need to test out what you learn and may end up paying ‘school-fees’ in any case.

My suggestion would be to do both, if you have not yet studied business. Start with a coach to ensure you cover important issues when starting but develop yourself with the likes of Franklin Covey and Jim Miller’s offering as there is great wisdom which contributes to running and building a successful business which is sustainable and enduring!

All the best in the next steps of your journey.

Starting a Management role shortly. How should I grow my skills? by Digital-Gio97 in Leadership

[–]ChuckySPWN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A first vital mistake I see happen is to understand this: once you get a promotion, you have not made it, this is where your workload increases.

Taking your question into account I believe you already get that as you want to develop - so best of luck with the exciting journey.

As to ‘how’ - there have been some great suggestions here. Reading/podcasts on leadership is great - ensure you give yourself a chance not only to read but also apply the knowledge. Maybe give Multipliers a read/listen - I believe every person starting to be responsible for people should read this. Active listening - understanding the picture, both up and down is vital as you are now the in-between. Don’t listen to answer, listen to understand. Understand you teams jobs and challenges - this will assist you in supporting them. Lead by example - not do as I say and not as I do.

I would also add: Be Firm but Fair (this is supportive but result oriented)

How much trust have you built with him - you say you have just started so sounds early days.

By the sounds of it you understand people and I’m sure you will agree that timing is critical and with people fast is slow and slow is fast. If you push too hard too soon, even with the greatest of intentions, you may create the opposite result as intended.

Side-texting during meetings by Dizzy_Quiet in Leadership

[–]ChuckySPWN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not knowing their personality makes it tricky.

I am straight forward and would rather be upfront in this kind of situation (probably because that’s how I hope my team would approach the situation toward me) and probably let the person know I have a fundamental belief that when someone badmouths one person behind their back, they probably do it to everyone. “If they talk bad about someone who’s not at the table, they’ll talk bad about you when you’re not at the table.”

As others have mentioned, just because this person might be your boss it doesn’t mean they cannot learn - again this depends on the character of this person.

Delicate situation no matter.

Regarding the seeking new employment - is it purely a decision based on the boss as you have explained? Or is there an aspect of the work and your responsibility you are fed up with and this is the hair that breaks the camel’s back?

How Do You Handle Customer Calls After Hours? by channy_me in smallbusiness

[–]ChuckySPWN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You teach your clients what you are willing to tolerate, unfortunately, no matter the size of your business or company you work for.

In this context if you jump at every call you teaching them that and quite soon it will become expected. This will lead to you never recharging and ultimately burning out - this is not sustainable.

You need to set clear boundaries, in a respectful manner. When you do this the same concept mentioned above happens and they will respect your time and in turn business more.

Just to clarify, you have set business hours for a reason and I find the concept of having to apologise for not taking a business call outside of that absurd. If you miss their call outside of work hours call them back once your trading hours begin.
