Good Managing and GREAT Managing - Deciding what you suck at?!
A great manager helps build the environment for his employees to excel at their tasks, he consciously chooses the aspects of his business that will perform poorly.
It may sound count productive "decide what aspects my business is bad at?!". But truly you won't please all of the people all of the time, much like a grocery store your business needs a lose leader to help push other products.
Consider Wal-Mart; Wal-Mart chooses to compete on price and therefore is willing to not do as well at décor or customer service as somewhere like American Eagle which takes time to design its stores and hire helpful staff.
You need to decide and accept what your business is, you will never be all things to all people. Don't try and dilute your brand by attempting such. If you are a premium product be a premium product, if you are great customer service be just that. Know what the core of your business is and sell it, decide where you will not excel and don't ever try and sell it.
Be your business, be a great manager, decide what you suck at.
