Be A Coach-Mentor - Develop Your People to Their Full Potential
Smart leaders and managers know that it is important to build and maintain the value of their greatest resource - their people. It's difficult to develop the potential of your people if you have not ascertained their existing skills, knowledge, and abilities - in other words, their competencies.Each individual's competency requirements will differ depending upon the role s/he fills within the group and/or team. For example, individuals who work with other departments or directly with clients may need a broader spectrum of communication skills and business or political savvy than those who work solely with their technical teammates. Others may need a certain in-depth knowledge of a software package or computer language. Still others may need to have a clear understanding of testing protocols.Paul Glen, author of Leading Geeks: How to Manage

There is little doubt that many new businesses fail in their first year, plus quite a high percentage will fail in the subsequent 4 years. I say "little doubt" because there is not much agreement on actual statistics. But I am sure few people would dispute the fact that the failure rate of new small businesses is high.

A business plan, covering funding, cash flow forecasting, and details of your market and products or services, is a minimum starting point.
