In my experience as an advisor to entrepreneurs, business startup founders most often point to a shortage of funds as the primary cause of their startup failure. Yet I often see evidence that points right back at the founder or business owner, attempting to maintain excessive power and influence over of the effort, leading to a wide range of problems and a dysfunctional team.

Companies develop their leadership structure based on several things, including the company’s size, type of industry, geographical location, regulations and other criteria. The leadership hierarchy should be arranged so that the company has strong direction and accountability. Titles and ranks can be confusing since there is so much variance among corporate structures.

One driver has to be found at fault, the damage needs to be investigated, and compensation rewarded. Even a fairly standard accident can take weeks or months to unravel. Things became even more complicated in the event of job accidents.

I’m keynoting the Authors and Innovators Business Ideas Festival on 10/24/19 at the UMASS campus in Newton, MA. As a writer, I’m excited to see events like this happening. When I got the invite from Larry Gennari , I was delighted that it overlapped with a Wellesley College board meeting that Amy was attending.
