The technician, manager, and entrepreneur roles are essential from "summary" of The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber
In the world of business, there are three distinct roles that are essential to the success of any enterprise: the technician, the manager, and the entrepreneur. Each of these roles plays a unique and critical part in ensuring that a business not only survives but thrives. The technician is the doer, the one who is skilled in a particular craft or trade. This role is focused on the day-to-day operations of the business, ensuring that the work gets done efficiently and effectively. Technicians are often the ones who are most comfortable with the hands-on aspect of the business, and they take pride in their ability to produce high-quality work. However, while technicians are crucial to the functioning of a business, they can also be a double-edged sword. Without the other roles to balance them out, technicians may find themselves overwhelmed by the demands of running a business. This is where the manager and the entrepreneur come in. The manager is the one who brings order and structure to the business. This role is focused on creating systems and processes that ensure the business runs smoothly and efficiently. Managers are adept at planning, organizing, and delegating tasks to ensure that the business operates like a well-oiled machine. Finally, the entrepreneur is the visionary, the one who sees the bigger picture and sets the direction for the business. This role is focused on innovation, growth, and long-term success. Entrepreneurs are constantly looking for new opportunities and ways to expand their business, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. In order for a business to be successful, all three roles must be present and working together in harmony. The technician ensures that the work gets done, the manager ensures that it gets done efficiently, and the entrepreneur ensures that it gets done with an eye toward the future. When these roles are properly balanced, a business has the best chance of thriving and achieving its full potential.
