I agree, morals are personal and ethics a code of behaviour and both require defending.

I am also aware that a very large nimber of successful companies are started by people that have no particular education but have a belief in themselves and their abilities and go ahead in the wider marketplace in spite of ” no education” . In fact in my experience I have seen may qualified people totally able to think productively for themselves. I have also seen many untrained and uneducated personal really achive if given the right support and oportunity. I therefor do not believe there is a hard and fast rule but a need to really have a very good look at what is wanted and expected and chose the right cloth for the right suit and not just stick to one size fits all.
Further to this is that I think that the young are sold the idea that a education is going to give them the right to a job of their wish and a good education will gaurentee a salary to suit. However there are not enough positions available any longer as the world become increasingly more crowded with quailfied graduates , less jobs and more automation.
Given this situation the responsibilty of choosing the right person it is becoming more clouded.

Hi John,
I think few business owners would call micromanagement a good thing, if you put it in those terms. The trouble is finding the balance between delegation that keeps your business strong and creates a product you can continue to be proud of and realizing that all of this does require some amount of letting go. I’ve left this comment over in the BizSugar community as well where Christi Brendlinger was good enough to share this post. Wonder if you or she or both could share some guidelines with our community about exactly how you go about striking this difficult balance.
