Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By studying this chapter, you should be able to… 19-1 Understand the entrepreneur’s leadership role. 19-2 Explain the small business management process and its unique features. 19-3 Identify the managerial tasks of entrepreneurs. 19-4 Describe the problem of time pressure and suggest solutions. 19-5 Discuss the various types of outside management assistance.

Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-1 SMALL BUSINESS LEADERSHIP • Leadership roles differ greatly, depending on the size of the business and its stage of development. • Thus, leadership cannot be reduced to simple rules or processes that fit all situations.
4.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-1a What Is Leadership? • The first task of the small business owner is to create and communicate a vision for the company. • An entrepreneur must convey his or her vision of the firm’s future to all other participants in the business so that they can contribute most effectively to the accomplishment of the mission.
5.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-1b Leadership Qualities of Founders • Founding entrepreneurs need a tolerance for ambiguity and a capacity for adaptation.
6.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-1c What Makes a Leader Effective? • Effective leadership is not so much about wanting to be in charge as it is about having the ability to take charge by setting the right priorities, finding good people and sorting them into the right roles, and then making the relationships work for everyone involved. • An effective leader needs to be committed to serving as a role model so that others will feel motivated to follow. • An entrepreneur exerts strong personal influence in a small firm, which can create a competitive advantage over corporate rivals.
7.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-1d Leadership Styles (slide 1 of 2) • Psychologist Daniel Goleman and his colleagues have identified the following six distinct leadership styles: 1. The visionary mobilizes people toward a shared vision. 2. The coach develops people by establishing a relationship and trust. 3. The team builder promotes emotional bonds and organizational harmony. 4. The populist builds consensus through participation. 5. The paragon sets challenging and exciting standards and expects excellence. 6. The general demands immediate compliance. • Goleman and his colleagues found that effective leaders shift fluidly and often between the first four styles listed above, and they make very limited but skillful use of the last two styles. • For most entrepreneurial firms, leadership that recognizes and values individual worth is strongly recommended.
8.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-1d Leadership Styles (slide 2 of 2) • A caring approach is more effective for eliciting more output from fewer employees. • Research shows that desirable leadership qualities such as decisiveness, resilience, and confidence must be balanced with a more sensitive touch if a leader is to have a greater impact. • Many progressive managers seek some degree of employee participation in decisions that affect personnel and work processes. • Empowerment – Authorization of employees to make decisions or take actions on their own. • The manager who uses empowerment goes beyond solicitation of employees’ opinions and ideas by increasing their authority to act on their own and to make decisions about the processes they’re involved with.
9.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-1e Shaping the Culture of the Organization (slide 1 of 3) • The organizational culture establishes a tone that helps employees understand what the company stands for and how to go about their work. • It is the factor that determines the “feel” of a business, the “silent teacher” that sets the mood for employee conduct, even when managers are not present. • A company’s culture unfolds over the lifetime of the business and usually reflects the character and style of the founder. • If a founder is honest in his or her dealings, supportive of employees, and quick to communicate, he or she will likely set a standard that others will follow.
10.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-1e Shaping the Culture of the Organization (slide 2 of 3) • Creating an organizational culture that fosters innovation tends to draw employees into the work of the company and often provides a boost to commitment and employee morale. • An entrepreneur can create an innovative cultural environment by: • Setting aside his or her ego and opening up to the ideas of others. • Supporting experimentation through the elimination of unnecessary penalties for failure. • Looking for and tapping into the unique gifts of all employees.
11.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-1e Shaping the Culture of the Organization (slide 3 of 3) • Deliberate physical design efforts can also influence the organizational culture, thereby helping to shape the way people in the organization think, how they interact, and what they achieve together. • Examples: Open-office layouts; not giving “higher-ups” private offices. • Another important factor in shaping culture is hiring new employees based on their attitude, style, and fit with the personality of the company.
12.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-2 THE SMALL FIRM MANAGEMENT PROCESS • Professional managers – Managers who use systematic, analytical methods of management.
13.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-2a From Founder to Professional Manager (slide 1 of 3) • The way businesses and other organizations are managed can vary greatly. • At the less-developed end of the continuum are entrepreneurs and other managers who rely largely on past experience, rules of thumb, and personal whims in giving direction to their businesses. • Other entrepreneurs and managers are analytical and systematic in dealing with management problems and issues. • The challenge for small firm leaders is to develop a professional approach, while still retaining the entrepreneurial spirit of the enterprise. • This can be especially difficult because founders of new businesses are not always good organization members.
14.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-2a From Founder to Professional Manager (slide 2 of 3) • Many experts believe it is extremely difficult, indeed often impossible, for entrepreneurs to make the transition from founder to professional manager. • When an entrepreneur cannot make the transition as the venture grows and becomes more complex, and refuses to hand the reins of control to someone better suited to take over, the enterprise is very likely to fail. • A founder’s less-sophisticated management style can adversely affect business growth, and many find it difficult to adopt more effective models.
15.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-2a From Founder to Professional Manager (slide 3 of 3) EXPANDING BEYOND THE COMFORT ZONE • Small companies are particularly vulnerable to managerial inefficiency, which may even lead to a firm’s failure. • Many companies perform quite well when ventures are small, but problems begin to mount when the business expands beyond some comfortable point. MANAGING THE CONSTRAINTS THAT HAMPER SMALL BUSINESSES • Small firm managers face special financial and personnel constraints. • A small firm often lacks the money for advertising, marketing research, and employing an adequate number of support staff. • Because small firms typically have few specialized staff members, most small business managers have no choice but to be generalists.
16.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-2b Firm Growth and Managerial Practices (slide 1 of 4) • As a newly formed business becomes established and grows, its organizational structure and pattern of management will need to be adjusted. • To some extent, management in any organization must adapt to growth and change. • However, the changes involved in the early growth stages of a new business are much more extensive than those that occur with the growth of a relatively mature business.
17.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-2b Firm Growth and Managerial Practices (slide 2 of 4) • There are four stages of organizational growth characteristic to many small businesses: 1. One-person operation. • The startup at this point is simply a one-person operation. 2. Player-coach operation. • Eventually, the entrepreneur becomes a player-coach, which implies continuing active participation in business operations. • In addition to performing the basic work—whether making the product, selling it, writing checks, keeping records, or other activities—the entrepreneur must also coordinate the efforts of others.
18.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-2b Firm Growth and Managerial Practices (slide 3 of 4) 3. Intermediate supervision. • When an intermediate level of supervision is added, the entrepreneur must rise above direct, hands-on management and work through an intervening layer of management. 4. Formal organization. • Conversion to a formalized management typically requires that the company begin to: • Adopt written polices. • Prepare plans and budgets. • Standardize personnel practices. • Computerize records. • Put together organizational charts and job descriptions. • Set up control procedures.

20.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-2b Firm Growth and Managerial Practices (slide 4 of 4) • From Stage 1 to Stage 4, the following occurs: • Layers of management are added. • The entrepreneur will need to demonstrate great skill if he or she wants to preserve a “family” atmosphere while introducing professional management. • The formality of operations is increased. • Growth requires greater formality in planning and control. • The pattern of entrepreneurial activities changes. • The small business owner becomes less of a doer and more of a leader and manager. • Small firms that hesitate to move through the various organizational stages and acquire the necessary professional management often limit their rate of growth.
21.

Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-3 MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF ENTREPRENEURS • Managerial responsibilities of entrepreneurs include the following: 1. Planning activities. 2. Creating an organizational structure. 3. Delegating authority. 4. Controlling operations. 5. Communicating effectively. 6. Negotiating.
22.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 19-3a Planning Activities (slide 1 of 2) • Both long-range planning and short-range planning are required. • Long-range plan (strategic plan) – A firm’s overall plan for the future. • Strategy decisions concern issues such as identifying niche markets and establishing features that differentiate a firm from its competitors. • Short-range plans – A plan that governs a firm’s operations for one year or less. • An important part of a short-range operating plan is the budget. • Budget – A document that expresses future plans in monetary terms.
23.
© 2020 Cengage
Learning®.

THE UNPLANNED STRUCTURE • In very small companies, the organizational structure tends to evolve with little conscious planning. • Certain employees begin performing particular functions when the company is new and retain those functions as it matures. • This natural evolution is not necessarily bad; however, unplanned structures are usually far from perfect, and growth typically creates a need for organizational change.

Know the purpose of the presentation and to whom you will be presenting. If you can find out in advance who will be attending your presentation, you will be able to adapt your comments to their needs and concerns. 2. Know your material. The better you know what you plan to talk about, the more you can concentrate on the delivery. And being prepared inspires confidence. 3. Be interactive. Listeners may be lulled into disinterest when they are not engaged. Find ways to get the audience involved in what you have to say. Don’t, for example, read from your notes for extended periods of time—doing so will ensure that the communication goes in only one direction, and your audience will know it immediately. 4. Make vivid mental connections in the minds of listeners. Telling stories helps, but so can other tools and techniques. For example, use props to focus attention, or employ a metaphor throughout the presentation to draw listeners back to a central theme. Humor is entertaining and can provide comic relief, but it can also be used to make a point unforgettable.

Your listeners are busy people, so be sure to deliver information that they will find useful and worth their time. 6. Be dynamic, but be yourself. Let your listeners know that you are passionate about the topic by the way you invest yourself in the presentation. It is much easier for an audience to remain engaged when the presenter is energetic and uses inflections, gestures, movement, and facial expressions to show it. Maintaining eye contact communicates that you want to connect with each individual in the room, which is motivating. 7. Use PowerPoint with care. Text-laden slides can produce the same effect as sleeping pills. If a picture paints a thousand words, then adding pictures and graphics can certainly help the audience access the ideas you want to convey (as long as they are not flashy to the point of distraction). Limit the text on each slide, and do not read from the slides you are showing. Try to imagine how you would respond to the slides if you were not particularly interested in the topic, and then make adjustments accordingly.

Although your audience may be wearing more casual clothing, dress in business professional attire. Avoid distracting clothing (like a tie that draws attention from what you have to say), and check to be sure that everything you’re wearing is in order before standing up to speak. 9. Avoid food and drink that make speaking difficult for you. Caffeinated drinks and sugary foods can make you jittery, which will only add to your nervousness. If you find that you need to clear your throat often after consuming certain foods or beverages, avoid them before speaking engagements. 10.Practice, practice, practice. The more presentations you give, the more you will feel confident while giving them. And one of the best ways to conquer stage fright is to spend time speaking in front of others. Recognize that your discomfort with public speaking is likely to fade with experience at the podium.
