Wearing Multiple Hats in Your Business?

Some business owners tend to wear multiple hats within their business due to several reasons. It might be the fear that only the owner has the best interest for the business, the reluctance to delegate tasks and goals or simply, the propensity for micromanaging and overseeing the team and the business itself.

It might be possible that any owner might be wearing several hats during the startup phase of any business, however, growing and scaling any business is not a one (wo)man job since there are several hats – aka departments – in EVERY business that needs supervision and direction.

Every business needs a plan

For a business to achieve its intended goal, strategies must be implemented. This is one of the first roles that any business owner, shareholder, or a director wear to grow the business. These roles demand a long-term outlook as it is instrumental in charting the business future direction.

Business owners, directors, and/or shareholders are often supported by other seats such as Leadership (CEO) who is then supported by the heads of the other remaining seats – Customer Service, Operations, Marketing, Sales, Finance, Human Resources and Admin/IT.

The great question is how many hats are you currently wearing? Or perhaps you’re trying to wear all ten hats at once? As much as we would like to think that we are superheroes and we can do it all, we are humans after all, and doing everything on our own is simply not possible however hard we try.

Therefore, redefining and organising your organisation structure will enable you to take off some of those hats and delegate them over to the appropriate team member, consequently freeing up your time and capacity to concentrate on the bigger picture.
