DESCRIPTION:
Entrepreneurs hunt. They build companies with vision, creativity and tenacity; not with policies and procedures. John F. You deserve to run a business in a way that makes sense to you. Dini draws on thousands of hours of face to face coaching with entrepreneurs, using the personal true stories of successful owners to drive home the challenges, rewards, exhilaration and terror of being a business owner. Management books tell entrepreneurs how to become farmers. They are hunters, and hunters have provided for others for thousands of years. From the ambition that captures an entrepreneur and drives him to take the plunge of starting up, to the unexpected pitfalls of runaway success, Hunting in a Farmer's World examines why business owners are different from the people who work for them.

I have been self employed for over 20 years and have 18 employees. I have never read a book this good on entrepreneurial issues and realities. I got so tired of reading books written by and for corporate America I actually stopped reading business books for a long time. Every chapter in this book had relevant wisdom for my business and. Agnes said Plain-spoken Owner's Manual. We executive coaches have to peruse and absorb dozens of management, leadership and organizational behavior books every year. As always, I sampled some chapters of "Hunting" I thought would be key and then got drawn into the full reading of the book. John Dini's writing is crisp, peppered with good data and concise, pointed stories, revealing how deeply he knows the head, heart and guts of entrepreneurs. He speaks as an insider, not j. Why don't my employees think like me? Rusty Smith I've heard it so many times it has become cliche - "Why can't my employees think like me?" In this book, Dini explains this phenomena - they can't think like you because they aren't like you. I've mentored and coached dozens of business owners and one of the issues that is fairly common is the ability for the owner to identify those things that only he/she can do (hunting, in Dini's analogy) and delegate everything else (farming, in h
