Are you a Many Hatted Director?

Posted on 25th March 2020 at 23:53

Lots of directors in small or medium-sized firms decide to take on loads of jobs all at the same time. You look after the general business operations, you’re handling the financial side of things, you’re in charge of procurement, IT - the list goes on!

If this sounds like you, then you can proudly claim the role of a MHD or a Many-Hatted Director.

It’s a stressful role that’s full of responsibilities, but many directors often find it is the only solution in their firm. If money is tight, then you don’t have the resources to hire people to take on all of these roles for you. So, it falls on your shoulders to handle everything to the best of your abilities.

When you first started your business you probably chose your suppliers because they provided the best possible products and service for a price you could afford. And if they did a good enough job you most likely stuck with them. But are they the right suppliers to keep long-term?

The importance of a helicopter view in a growing business

When you first started your business, you probably had to do everything. You got stuck in working on all the day-to-day details and kept everything in your head. As your business grows this has to change. If you keep running your growing business the same way as your small business, you are in danger of becoming the biggest bottle-neck for growth. You simply run out of time, energy and even brain space.
