A question asked on QUORA that I answered as follows:
I'll throw my hat in, not worrying about titles, except for clarity and consistency. I recommend you would draw out an organizational chart with core function bullets underneath.
- CEO: Lead: visionary, investment community face, organization voice
- CFO: Finance budgets, spending, takes care of bottom line, manages growth, HR
- Operations: Execute, Implementation, Customer Service, Customer Retention
- Marketing: Communicate, SEO/SMO, web, Social Media, Business Development/Sales, Customer attention
- Technical: Create, Design, Engineering, Developers
Not all have to be "employees". There is a lot of talented people that will work on contract. What is important is based on the strength of the product developed, will determine how many people it would take to:
p.s. Replace "product" with service, idea, etc. The basics apply to most offerings.
- launch the product, (Technical, Vision, Costs, Communicate)
- maintain the product (Operations, Technical, Financial)
- promote the product (CEO, Marketing, Business Development, SEO/SMO, Events)
- manage the product (Operations, Technical, Financial, Customer Service, Education/Training)
- keep the product going (Technical, Operations, Financial, Education/Training)
- grow the product (CEO, Marketing, Business Development, SEO/SMO Technical, Operations, Financial)
More times than not, key functions are typically shared by individuals, for example:
- CEO: How it looks: Vision, Marketing, Product Development, Communication
- CFO: How it gets done: Financials, Operations, HR,
- CTO: How it works: Product Creation, Product Development, Engineer, Design
There are numerous examples of successful launches and organizations that start out with only two key people that work jointly that branches from there:
- FACE of the organization (CEO, Marketing, Design, etc.)
- BRAINS of the organization (CFO, Developer, Design, Financial, Operations, Engineer)
Isn't life suppose to teach the parent a lesson so that they are able to head off their offspring to the same crumbling fait?
I say potatoe, you sound like potata.
I roll my eyes and you purse your lips, when you want to emphasize your point.
A very wise man (my father) often asked: "What's the payoff?"
With my dad, that was the clue we were to shut up and really reflect on the question and be very sure from the curl in our toes before we would dare speak up! Never mind answer the question.
Well, dad. Rob was the pay off!
I never quite knew the answer when it came to Rob and you'd ask me those 12 or 13 years ago. His daughter would be double the age now from when we first met. Definitely, because of my dad, I had to have really opened my eyes into what I was getting myself into.
Fear: that's natural,
so many would say ... even today
as a daughter embarks on a marriage
I hope her father will be asking her
from the beginning, these wise WISE
words:
WHAT'S THE PAYOFF?
While I become weary of family dynamics that are far worse than I could imagine for myself now, nor anyone I know.
Try being the legally married spouse to a man whom I adore, and my one great love [that's the easy part].
Try that man's life probably saved because she was there, acted quickly upon by his spouse, in every form imaginable. When speaking to the Chief Resident on the neurological team, who asked me to call him by his first name [ undisclosed to secure privacy ]. I was asking him a few questions, or many as I am oft to do, whether genetics, health of the patient or whatever is the main reason for Rob's remarkable recover?
Kind Chief Doctor Resident said that the quickness to reaction and the outstanding diagnosis of The South Campus, was likely a highly contributing factor to his amazing recovery.
What's the PAYOFF in keeping me around?
For someone who is often considered arrogant or cocky, as you can imagine, the list may be very sparse.
To that I say:
I am not perfect
... it is not something i could promise now or even from our beginning
Sometimes I talk too much
... with only the kindest and heartfelt intensions
I don't like what you say
.... not because it is true is it?
If you like what I say
.... or do or buy or compliment anything and everything to do with you.
REMEMBER: I like to keep my promises
... which was a shortcoming of your father who just wanted to make you happy
If you asked your dad to take you to the moon, he would have
... and that was one of his most redeeming qualities: how he treated you!
Your dad wanted to give you a family
... I was part of the package. A mother figure is important to every girl's lives.
Perhaps by now you are stunned to discover there is no ranting or raving
.... why so? Unless I feel beaten or put in my place?
The one important quality I share with you
... because I was once someone's "Daddy's Girl" who passed on 10 years ago
I lost my father, there is never an opportune time
... so maybe, just maybe, I can actually understand what you are going though.
EXCEPT, my father is gone ..... AND your father is healing.
... you know how he thinks you treat me, just be who that means.
