One of the things I love about getting to meet CEOs of successful SMEs is that
a surprising number of them built their businesses out of a sincere desire to h
elp others.
For instance, Joanna Duarte of Big & Small st
ating that she built her business to help give jobs for "her girls" (see ou
r November-December 2006 issue). And in our upcoming March-April issue, we
feature Luchi Cabanlet of CDO Handmade Paper Crafts, who has transformed her company into an astonishing social enterprise
that even provides free education for all the children of her employee
s!
That's the great thing about owning a business. You can get the power to change
the world, so to speak. One employee at a time.
One thing that these amazing people have in common is a sense of faith in their
employees -- no cynics among this group of successful entrepreneurs. You won't
see them talking ill about their people, or suspecting the worse, or firing pe
ople left and right.
Instead, they strive to make sure that there is a give-and-take between the fir
m and the employees, and that they are both better off being with each other. S
o instead of employees thinking of the firm as an antagonist, the firm really d
oes become a partner. For better or for worse.
Many businesses seek to change the world through their products. Kind'a like Ap
ple changing pop culture through its computers and music gear.
But you don't have to come out with a killer product to change the world. Chang
ing the world can happen within your walls, in the production side, with your o
wn work force, one employee at a time.
