The business world has long recognized that entrepreneurs are different from managers. It's not uncommon for an entrepreneur to run his business into the ground, or to run it in a way that's no longer appropriate for the organization as it has grown. Usually, the board of directors fires the founder. One example I read of just today was of the Saatchi brothers, England's advertising geniuses. They left Saatchi & Saatchi and founded just plain Saatchi, I believe. Sometimes the founder comes back to save the organization, as Steve Jobs has done for Apple Computer. But more often than not, the entrepreneur is happier to invent a new company. - Patrick Gillam To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
