Business Philosophy ( 商道 ) : Are You The “Icon” Of Your Company Or Are You The “Environment” In Your Company?

When you are the “Icon” of your Company, it means you are the main attraction your customers engage your company’s services.
When you are the “Environment” in your Company, it means you have set up an effective Organization Structure, delegated and successfully replicated your revenue-generating skills to your “Keymen”, you have successfully created and are now facilitating the maintenance of Workflows, Document Flow, System flow and Information flow, Controls and SOPs in the Company, and put in place a good Staff Retention Program.
Business Owners who are now acting in the role as the “Environment” in their Companies have more time now to think about “strategic” directions like IPO, M&A, New Brands, Family Offices for Cash Pooling, etc.
If you are still the “Icon”, you had better start grooming your successor, and take a back seat…for no “Icons” are long lived and sustainable.
