Talk about your business

Ah, I see what you are saying and yes, some of my clients have to shift to being LEADERS vs. DOERS, but some still have to do both.  For example, I have some small biz clients who are one owner/employee who do direct task work on Govt contracts with no other employees or subs under them, so they must still do both, and they don't really have anyone/anything else to lead except for the project they are working on. Another example is my client with three IT guys who are partners with all three working direct on Govt subcontract so all three are DOERS primarily since they do not lead anyone else, except as a team they manage the company and I am their CFO.  A third long-time client is husband and wife where the husband started as a one-man company working direct on Govt subcontract as the only DOER and now has hired wife and 5 employees, so yes in their case, I am now teaching them to be LEADERS on top of DOERS.
