Designing Your Future Role in the Business

As business owners, most of us wear multiple hats (Chief Everything Officer). Most likely, you don’t want it to always be this way. You need to be able to answer questions such as: where is your organisation today? Where do you want it to be? What is your role in your future business and how do you get there? Unless you can answer these questions and more, it will be very difficult to bring in anyone to run or buy the business. In addition to using Strategic Business Leadership (SBL) to plan for your future, you definitely want to have two job descriptions for yourself. One job description is your current job description (what are your responsibilities?). The other is your future job description, or what you want your role to be. This second job description should definitely be in alignment with your personal vision. It will provide you with clarity and direction.
