> **9. Management by people rather than systems, bosses and managers are overwhelmed, many bosses were formerly salespeople and don't do what bosses should do, but instead do what managers do, managers do what salespeople do, and salespeople sleep on the job. The reports that managers and bosses need are always printed by clerks, wasting paper, and they don't have the habit of viewing them through software.**

> **10. Frequent inventory inaccuracies, books and actuals don't match. The warehouse is far from the boss, making management difficult.**

> **11. Distributors often started as husband-and-wife teams, making it hard to break out of family management. The wife handles finance, the husband handles the company, and many promises made by the boss are not fulfilled, causing the boss to lose trust among manufacturers and employees.**

> **12. Lack of full coordination between the boss and his wife.**

> **13. The boss's vision is insufficient, and blindly hiring professional managers or outside experts leads to poor coordination and a falling out. Later, when hiring managers again, they become timid, like 'once bitten, twice shy.'**

> **14. Many bosses and their wives argue loudly in the office due to poor coordination, and their bad moods directly affect employees.**

> **15. Too many relatives in the company, everyone can manage, the boss manages, the wife manages, the son manages, even the grandfather manages while taking a walk, leaving employees confused about who to listen to.**
