How can business ownership avoid power struggle with management?

[King Belieal]

It is a very common situation that business owners end up struggling for power between themselves and the management team. They employ the management team and task them with running the business. But ownership still wants to interfere in management decisions.

How can business ownership avoid that power struggle with management?

If the owner of the business is not comfortable to allow the management take decisions for the business, the should step in and run the business and dissolve the management.

To avoid this there needs to be a structure. Each department needs to have a clear picture of the amount of power they have access to, and their specific areas to exercise these power.

Business owners must try to not interfere with management decision unless it is clear that management is making wrong decisions.

This is where the rules and each role should apply. Each of these units needs to know their duties and keep to it

It is all about defining the roles of management in the business ecosystem. And ownership should not overlap into those roles.

In large companies or corporations conflicts between business owners and top managers can be resolved at shareholder meetings, but for individual businesses, the business owner must read the top manager's plan and how he will carry it out.
