The Challenges of Key Person Dependency
Key person dependency is a major issue faced by small business owners, often manifesting as owners becoming bottlenecks in various aspects of their operations. When an owner is involved in every part of the business—from client work to sales and management—it can hinder growth and efficiency. This dependency can also lead to missed opportunities, as scaling may become challenging when the capacity of key team members is reached. Identifying these dependencies and understanding their impact is the first step towards developing sustainable systems that allow for growth without over-reliance on any individual.
