Without The Manager there would be no planning, no order, no predictability. (...) Without The Manager there would be no business, no society. Without The Entrepreneur, there would no innovation. It is the tension between The Entrepreneur's visionand The Manager's pragmatism that creates the synthesis from which all great works are born." @Xu: according to Gerber, you really need all the 3 aspects, but The Entrepreneur is the most difficult to get as it requires a global vision, not to be stuck into the basic daily necessities of your business. By the way, the consulting firm "The Emyth worldwide" seems to have applied this method to a lot of small businesses and to have had really good results, but it is less expensive to buy the book than to hire them for a consulting mission ;-) @Kari: The Manager is an intermediarystage between the Technician and the Entrepreneur, but an excerpt is better than my words: “The managerial personality is pragmatic.

It's technicians all around, but the main Technician seems to have a vision. Too bad the company seems to built around his talent and personality. Fidji, what's the function of Manager in that trio? You only mention the two others in your post. I think I have guess, but maybe other readers would like to know too what Gerber thinks.

Personally I love U.[Lik] but I haven't tried Zlio yet, so both are fine with me... It would be better than increasing Amazon turnover for free ;-) Anyways it is a really great book, but please wait until we create our Zlio or U.[Lik] shop to buy it... Definitely!

It could be Zlio or it could be U.[Lik] as well, an eCommerce recommendation company as well. What do you think Fidji?

It could be Zlio or it could be U.[Lik] as well, an eCommerce recommendation company as well.

What do you think Fidji?
