What line of sight does a new business owner need? Deep into the weeds? Or out far in the horizon?
With a microscopic lens, an entrepreneur can look at what is working in his/her business, and what can be improved with the processes and the employees. The day-to-day minutiae for new founders require attention initially. A CEO of a startup recently shared that staying attune to the small details gives her the confidence to sell her value proposition to potential clients.
With a telescopic lens, an entrepreneur can assess the vision for the future. Sculpting, molding and envisioning the long run for the company, will inspire your employees and motivate them towards goals. A startup founder I recently chatted with, explained that it his visions what differentiates his company from the competition.
Ironically, the best entrepreneurs need a microscope to do telescopic things, and use a telescope to do microscopic things.
Are you a telescopic or microscopic founder? Let us know the details in the comments below.
