Let’s Horse Around with
Management Issues

You & one horse – Pretty Simple
A “solo-practitioner”
You make them pull together -- evenly
A small firm
You & your 2nd lieutenant each “ride a team”
More folks, heavier load
You masterfully “pull-all-strings” with one hand
You skillfully manage a well-trained team
Using both hands ...
Make sure the harness fits
Don’t ride too close
Don’t get the cart in front of the horse
Sometimes you geta bewildered look …
Sometimes you get a big old grin …
Sometimes they fight openly …
It is time to “ride ‘em hard”
Step #1: Check the vital signs
Option #1: Put ‘em on pasture
Option #2: Put them to work
Step #2: Get back to the basics
Step #3: Give ‘em some rope
Remember the power of a team !!
A good work horse can pull about 2 tons of dead weight …
Two trained horses, that pull as a team -- will together pull almost 11 tons …
Adjust, Fine tune, Manage … and you are off to the races
Remember, “team” is not a “four-letter” word
Thank you
