Owning a business does not mean doing everything in a business. A good business owner gives their employees and executive team the responsability to make the owners dream a reality. Kids in Kids Roar are the owners, not the employees. They provide the vision, product designs, broad strategy and corporate decisions.
What are the Kids Doing?
It is important to be clear on the involvement of the kids and adults with Kids Roar. Adult employees will run the day to day operations of the business. Kids tend to not like packing boxes or tallying receipts.
So what do the kids do?
-
One started the business, including writing the business plan (with some help), hiring a lawyer, conducting meetings, attending conferences and more.
-
Kids write much, but not all of the content on this website. We try to always make it obvious if a kid has not written the content. (Such as this page, adult written.)
-
Kids own and control the business
-
Negociate Partnerships
-
Kids make up the board, and set the vision of the company.
-
Kids design and choose products.
-
Kids run events, do speeches and other public activities.
-
Kids hire the Kids Roar Executive Team and can fire adult employees if they choose as a group that the executive is not meeting their expectations.
-
Kids attend regular board meetings where they are presented with summaries of financials, progress on plans, problems partnership opportunities and anything else the board needs to address. They vote on the issues.
What are the Adults Doing?
While an 8 year old did come up with the original ideas, brand and vision for the company, adults have of course helped make it possible. By choosing to enable and empower the kids, and to help them think big, Kids Roar will be a huge success.
-
Kids Roar has adult professional help, such as legal and accounting
-
Kids Roar has adult employees running the day to day operations
-
Kids Roar will hire professionals to do marketing design and polished product designs based on the kid's vision and ideas.
-
Adults make minor updates to this website, and clearly disclose when they write large amounts of content.
-
Adults may help a kid put together their content into a page.
-
Adults will mentor the Kids on the Board.
Over time, as the Kids involved in Kids Roar get more skilled at doing various tasks, less will be done by adults. The goals of the adults involved with the company are to build leadership and decision making skills with the kid board members. Also, to have them build a great network of kids and adults, have them perfect their speaking and writing skills, learn to utilize technology to be more efficient.
