The number one structure is Unique Ability Teamwork®.If you don’t get everyone’s roles right, you won’t get anything else right.It’s hard to correct a mistake you’ve made from the beginning.Confidence in your concepts and team is more crucial than trust.Confidence can come from knowing that you’ll always transform when you fail.A truly Self-Managing Company operates successfully independent of your constant oversight.Giving your team members the freedom to innovate, contribute, and pursue their Unique Ability® is essential to long-term business growth and success.Many entrepreneurs pride themselves on being hands-on with everything that happens at their company, but it’s important to resist the urge to rescue struggling teams.Being hands-off means allowing your team to learn from failures and trusting that they’ll develop problem-solving skills.Trust means that you’re taking a risk, and entrepreneurship is founded on risk.Everything that Strategic Coach needs to be is organized on teamwork.Strategic Coach has great institutional habits and institutional wisdom.In science, the experiment cannot depend upon the experimenter. The same applies to business.Being in control is management; being in charge is leadership.Make sure the little things that have to be there every day are right—the freedoms and supports that allow team members to thrive—and everything else will fall into place.  Resources: Unique Ability® Blog: What Is A Self-Managing Company®? Blog: Your Business Is A Theater Production: Your Back Stage Shouldn’t Show On The Front Stage Blog: Time Management Strategies For Entrepreneurs (Effective Strategies Only) Blog: Transforming Experiences Into Multipliers
