Indeed. Me too.
I can totally relate. Don't like the 9-5, hated being a boss, hated having a boss. I'm in a good place right now, but there were a few things I learnt the hard way.
My advice is, don't be the asshole boss, but don't try to be friends with your employees either. You need to keep them at arms length or they won't respect you. You need to treat them fairly or they won't put the effort in for you. Somewhere in the middle is best.
I actually had a lengthy meeting with a business coach this morning. I’ll be using him to help bring in a new employment structure. He’ll also act as a go between between me and the team which will help a lot with getting shit done.
It will also prevent me from getting caught up in the nitty gritty of the place which I look forward to.
Onwards and upwards!
Sounds like a plan mate. Hope it works out well for you.
that is a smart decision. I am really interested in how it is going to be! Please let me know the result if you like (by discord or steemit chat)
When fronts are going to harden or people do not feel understood (both sides) it helps to take a person in from the outside which is not involved.
