Being an Entrepreneur is not a qualifying factor to being a good Manager. AGREE?

Do Business owners / Entrepreneurs equate to being good Managers? 

The answer is a big, 'NO' and here's why:

One of this would clash over the other. You cannot handle both being a manager and being an entrepreneur. It is either you are one or the other🙅

• An entrepreneur is the visionary one who comes up with the idea to start a business. They are creative, innovative and take the risk to invest in bringing their idea to life.

• A manager on the other hand is involved in helping to bring the idea to life, manage and sustain the business overtime. They are professionals who have competence in different areas of the business - finance, HR, operations, project management, IT etcetera.

• Employees have experienced an unpleasant working environment when entrepreneurs or business owners want to manage every aspect of the organisation rather than employ experienced hands to do so. This is not their forte. 

• Entrepreneurs should put their focus on what is best suited with their personality and competence, which is innovation.

To avoid any form of distraction, Entrepreneurs should focus their attention on initiating innovation and hire professionals to manage the business by bringing their ideas and vision to life. Only then would the organisation grow and gain a competitive advantage as a business''.
