The business book for people who hate business books.

Growing a business is tough. Entrepreneurs usually start off by cobbling together a team of self-starters willing to bust their asses for the company...usually from within their personal network of college buddies, friends of friends, and relatives. Those scrappy teams fit perfectly in your startup culture—they're tough, hungry, and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. But what happens when you reach $20 million in revenue, or 40 or 50 million—and those same dedicated employees are holding you back? How do you walk that delicate line between gratitude and necessity? 

Let's face it, sometimes your needs exceed their abilities. People decisions are hard, especially if they're close to us. As a result, many entrepreneurs end up tiptoeing around these issues—and we end up learning many lessons the hard way. Who's Your Mike? offers a witty, nuanced approach to the people problems common to every entrepreneur as you grow your business. Whether you suffer from a Mike, don't know what to do with a Bounce-Around Betty, or need to rid yourself of a Pipeline Paul, Kurt Wilkin wants to help you diagnose issues before they arise and make those challenging people decisions that are holding you back.
