Wearing too many hats?

The need of consulting firms is rising in Pakistan. Organizations of all sizes have needs that change regularly, and in the Pakistani economy especially, where the country as managed to evolve itself into an emerging market, resulting into business growth for many organizations.  Resources and expertise are scarce all over the Globe. For success organizations must be positioned to react quickly, effectively and efficiently. It is the survival of the fittest. They need the powerful impact of a broad range of expertise, delivered with maximum value.

The problems that often occur are that as organizations grow or transition, the owners, managers and employees increasingly wear multiple hats, leading to overburdening of tasks and responsibilities. Organizations spread tasks and responsibilities around thinking that it is only a few hours; it can save costs or we can make it happen until we can hire full time. The business then starts to face short term absences such as vacation, instead of being efficient the reverse most often occurs with organizations being increasingly inefficient, owners and senior managers being stressed because of overburdening, less focused and less effective functional teams within the organization.  The impacts on the organization can include less than optimal growth or lower revenues, higher costs and lost opportunities and profits. As in economics it is termed the diminishing returns.

Why does this happen?  For organizations to perform optimally, everyone on the team must be focused on the organization’s goals and do what they do best, with the best use of their time.  Wearing too many hats dilutes, distracts the attention from the goals and hurts the organization. Such as, the owner of a business built it by taking leadership roles in accounting, law, taxes, and marketing. It might be the highest and best use of the time, generating the greatest contribution to the organization. However, as the business grew, the owner got more and more involved in operations, sales marketing or human resource. The owner or the manager may feel stressed and trapped thinking they don’t need or cannot afford expertise such as a legal advisor, compliance officer, or a chartered accountant. Stress building starts.  The owner and the business will suffer with time.  What are the true costs of this to the business?
