Entrepreneurs, managers and technicians

I read an interesting book about the myths of small businesses. It essentially said that there are three parts to a business: entrepreneurs or visionaries, managers and technicians. Apparently most small businesses are run as if they are small and do not cater for growth. Also, very few keep the vision or the ideology once the business starts growing usually because they have too much to do. I did a test on Bombadil, and amazingly enough we have already reached the mature stage and are no longer considered a small or a young company. Seems a funny thing when we are only about two years old, and do not have hundreds of employees.
Anyway, I have been thinking about this for a while, and realise that although we are not very old, we do indeed have a very established ideology and we are also in so many places around the world. So perhaps the test was right. With regards to catering for growth, then we have done nothing but, so yes, perhaps they are right afterall.
The other thing that was interesting was that we are classified as a visionary company and will thus be able to really make an impact by what we do. I did not really think I learnt anything from the book, though there was something of which I should take notice - have a structured handbook which is continually updated. So guess it is time to start writing more pages to the handbook. Seems they are needed ;-D
