　　While you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, this is often not the case.

　　This problem starts back in school when the stressful 揼roup projects?are first assigned. The smartndest don't want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that an average student does his part well. They just take over and do the whole project themselves.

　　And thus begins the smart－people work cycle. The smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business. They are not better. A smart person who can't stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself. Then, －man band “job－business” and ends up not being able to grow. However, (a person who is lazy and avoids work) are better suited to be a business leader than the “smart” people.

　　Smart and talented people often have a gift for the unusual, complicated or different. They don't like to follow the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid), which is required to make a business succeed. Maybe you think the global presence of McDonald's complex, but in reality, in the company, every single task is broken down into easy－to－follow steps and everything has been standardized. These successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that can't be screwed up by their average employees. So, being smart or talented isn't going to help you unless you can use those smarts to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful.
