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”.
