Running your own business—the American dream—can be daunting: long days, none of the freedom you envisioned, no time for family and friends, and the unrelenting pressure to keep up the pace. Worse, all this hard work can only take you so far. To get to the next level, you need to stop being “Super-Employee” and become a leader who sets direction, operationalizes goals, monitors and controls results, and involves others. You need to run your business using an integrated professional management system.
Clay Mathile, who grew the Iams Company from $500K to $1 billion in sales, discusses proven management fundamentals applied in a practical way, one that has been used by thousands of business owners. You’ll get real-world details that academic courses don’t teach—true stories from those who, like Mathile, implemented these fundamentals and thrived. Read this book and discover how to make your business more successful and sustainable and your life more fulfilling!
Mathile, who formerly owned a large animal food company and is associated with a nonprofit foundation that helps private businesses use approaches to raise their effectiveness, outlines the foundation's professional management system for applying and maintaining professional management in a business. The system uses a direction, operation, control structure, and he shows business owners, leaders, managers, advisors, and others how to use the process to run their business. The system requires that owners step back from the short-term leadership perspective to look at the bigger, long-term picture, and he describes its elements (leadership, strategy, people development, business structure, culture, and performance management) and its application to short-term and long-term goals, as well as uses in interactions with family about business matters, the importance of awareness of impacts on them, and the need for a succession plan.
