Elaine C. Myrback trusts and empowers her employees, but she’ll step in to help if necessary, even catching the next flight out to meet a client to discuss a potential contract. Above all, the president and CEO of EMS Consulting — an Enterprise Resource Planning consulting service — and its subsidiary, Intelligent Chaos, wants to make sure her customers’ expectations are being met.

It’s a fine line between being an involved CEO and treading on your employees’ toes, Myrback says, and she tries very hard not to cross it.

“You want to believe in your people; you want to give them the latitude but guide them as needed,” she says.

Under Myrback’s guidance, the 115-employee company posted 2006 revenue of $17.8 million.

Smart Business spoke with Myrback about why growing your business can be like spinning plates.
