In a previous article, we mentioned The Caesar Principle. This is our name for a phenomenon when we find people going into leading roles.
To have a leading role you must have a support system. If you assume a leading role in a area of knowledge, a business, an industry, then you must have a support system.
You cannot be the owner of a company, for example, and have an effective business unless the people in the company are supportive of you, unless you have a support system. People working for you must trust and respect you as a business professional, and you must have a support system.
People must be available to work for your company and to work for you and to do the work to the best of their ability and expertise.
You must have customers and those available to buy your products and services.
The community that you have the business in must be supportive of you.
Many business people for example before even setting up a company must find out if they have adequate support system for that company.
A community that doesn't want a Wal-mart, for example, and is not going to be supportive of Wal-mart, then Wal-mart can not set up in that community.
First, Wal-mart must have a sufficient work force qualified to do all the different types of work that Wal-mart in that community requires.
They also must have customers enough in that community to support Wal-mart by buying the products so that Wal-mart has sufficient money to make a profit in that community, buy its products, and to pay salaries to its employees. Plus the community in general must be supportive of having a Wal-mart in their community.
Whoever is the local manager of Wal-mart must be a trusted business professional who people are able to work with in a professional and business manner.
This is true not only of the large companies like Wal-mart, but small local grocery stores.
Mainly to stay in business you need quality products and buyers of those quality products and a quality work force. Many things you need to go into business and to stay in business.
If you have very few people supportive of you you can have a company or business, but it would have to be a small, private company and you would have to assign the type of work that very few people can do.
What are the types of companies where you can work with very few people and have an effective business or company? The owner must list these types of companies.
If you have very little money for startup costs and advertising, then you must list the types of companies that you can start with very little money.
Of course your goal is to have a large company or a corporation perhaps, but you start with business goals that are possible.
Perhaps with the very few people that you employ the only type of business that you can think of is web content writing. Then you can start your small, private company writing web content. Those who work for you are assigned to write web content. So you are a web content company.
We use web content only as an example. You can also study the internet and your community for the types of companies that very few people are needed to have that type of company.
Perhaps a small candy store or a small toy store in your community. Or perhaps a small store that buys and sells used books. Perhaps these are the only types of stores that you have a support system in your community. Then consider these stores.
Let's say you're interested in setting up a publishing company. There is not sufficient support in your type of community to sustain a publishing company. Perhaps you can set up a small private company in your community and try to have a branch of that publishing company in a community in which there is more of a support system for publishing, including qualified workers. Perhaps in your community few know anything about publishing, then you have to find a community, including an online community of qualified workers in publishing. You certainly cannot work in publishing when you don't have qualified workers or a support system of buyers for your books, and/or even a community that is receptive to published works,
We are using business as samples of support systems for leadership role-playing, nevertheless these questions of support systems for leaders applies to every area in which you have leaders, from entertainment to sports to politics to intelletual to spiritual leadership.
In addition you must have people knowledge of the type of leadership. As we have noted previously, most practical, materially oriented people only recognize material world leadership and material world leaders.
