There is a myth from the 1990’s that stated 9 out of 10 businesses close in their first year. The US Small Business Administration still gets calls every year from people looking for the unknown source of the 9 out of 10 sound bite. The myth persists partly due to a widely held belief that business closure is always considered a negative event.

George,

I see it as having a “management” mindset…that all aspects of the business need to be managed, including people, ideas, processes, etc. When in reality business needs very little management, it more often needs leadership which can come from any level of the organization (you just hope the top brass are good leaders too!).

Matt,

Great set of myths. I think they can all be grouped into the category of how NOT to lead. Many of these fall into poor leadership practices. Good leadership training will expose these myths for the fallacies they are.
