When the owner’s strength becomes the company’s trap

A trap does not arise because the owner is a “bad manager”. It arises when the company consistently uses the owner’s personal strength to compensate for a missing capability.

The result exists. The capability does not.

01

A difficult situation arises

02

The owner rescues the result

03

The company does not develop the missing capability

04

The next situation comes back to the owner

A trap is overcome when the result is produced consistently without the owner’s constant compensation, not simply when the owner “intervenes less”.
