Responsibilities of a Company Owner
Recently, business management seminars and informational websites suggest it’s not good for managers to work long and hard hours. Instead, their job consists of creating a good working environment. To do that, they must think about their employees and make sure they don’t have any problems. If problems do arise, a manager must work to eliminate any problems they may have. While I agree with this, I am concerned they are omitting something important. And that is whether the company is profitable or not.
It's great to work for a large company that can profit even if its employees don’t work long hours. If you work for such a company, they’ll pay you a higher salary because the business is making a good profit. While that’s ideal, it’s important to ask yourselves, how did they get to that point? To get there, there must’ve been people who worked harder, better, and longer than other companies.
Many people are averse to taking responsibility. When they fail, many people blame others or society. I think more people think that companies will forgive them even if they don’t take responsibility. However, all problems that occur at my company are my responsibility. Even if I’m not directly involved. That is why I’m always on the lookout for problems.
If I ignore even a small problem, it will eventually develop into a bigger problem. There’s this theory called Heinrich’s Law that looks at the frequency and severity of accidents. Behind every big problem is even more smaller problems. And when referring to the workplace, there are more unreported problems in addition to that. That is why as a company owner, it’s important to stay on top of this. A company owner can be picky because if the company is not successful, they cannot care about their employees. Having said this, it is vital to manage a company well. Don’t you think so? A company owner's responsibility is to manage the company responsibly.
