Some of the most difficult work I do with small businesses is getting owners to change themselves. We ALL have strengths and weaknesses. It is usually the weaknesses that keep us from performing at our peak potential. When these owner weaknesses are not addressed and the owner is at the helm, the business suffers as a result. Our article Leading to New Horizons of Success has a great message along this topic.
