The Owner's Operating Manual, by Elie Jabbour

The Owner's Operating Manual: A Practitioner's Guide to Managing and Owning a Business

Most owners run their business on instinct, memory and long hours. That works until cash tightens, a key person leaves, or a supplier fails and the owner is the only fix.

This 392-page guide is a practitioner's synthesis of the best published thinking on running a business. It turns that thinking into a working system you can apply on Monday morning.

Thirty-three chapters in eight parts cover the owner's role, weekly rhythm and scorecards, hiring and delegation, pricing and customers, cash and margin, buying and suppliers, risk and legal structure, and building a business that runs without you. Nine real supplier-failure cases show what goes wrong and how to prevent it.

Includes 17 ready-to-use templates and checklists, worked formulas and a 158-term glossary.
