A lot of successful partnerships had clear division of responsibility - often an "inside man" and an "outside man".
The inside man handles the employees, bookkeeping and systems. The outside man handles sales.
When two cooks are responsible for the same pot, there's trouble. And unwatched pots.
There are many variations on the good pattern - take McDonald's. Ray Kroc handled the franchisees and systems, while CEO Harry Sonneborn handled the money, real estata and investors.
