You are right, I have little tolerance and expect a lot from everyone. I'm not a good manager, it's a skill I lack and wish it were different but I can't change my stripes. I've written here before about guys w that gift and it allows them to build very profitable companies. It's why I'm a sole practitioner most of the time, something I share w my late dad.
You need to be willing to really open your checkbook to hire the best people and then keep them happy, which requires more than $$. I know lots of people who hate their jobs and the people they answer to but they suck it up for the $$. Not a good recipe for a successful business.
I also blame myself for the fk-ups of any of my workers. It's my fault for either hiring the wrong people, not training them properly or failing to create an environment where they care if they please me. To have a work force that turns out first class results and likes their boss is an amazing thing, I've rarely seen it but it exists.
