Dear Al,
I'm growing my company each year. That's the good news. However, I find I need to keep adding new people every time I grow. The bad news is that I find myself working harder and longer managing my ever-increasing staff.
I thought my workload would get easier if I could just have more people, but I found out I have to spend my days running around helping everyone else do their job. No one seems to want to take responsibility for anything, and when I want to delegate a project, I end up disappointed with the results. Normally, I have to stop what I'm doing and come to the rescue. If I have to do their work as well as mine, what's the benefit of growing and having more people?
