two schools of thought on that: 1) hire people who know more than you do (but you have to be smart enough to know when they are trying to pull the wool over your eyes); and 2) since it's "your own" business you need to know how to do the work initially and for the first several years to make your business profitable, then you need to continue to update yourself to stay ahead of your staff, but just in case you need to lay them off then you need to know how to do the work to keep your business afloat. So both skills are important.
I don't think a person "gets people to work very well". I think they work at their own speed with their own skills and do their best although you might educate them on new products. If you want better then you need to hire better from the start, and, might I add, pay them well to perform at their peak.

Both are equally important. When having the skills to work really well then there is no doubt getting people to work very well.

Knowing how to work really well.
If you have the ability to work hard, be focused, and think through issues and problems (which are all signs of a good worker), then those skills and abilities can be applied to any job you do, including managing a staff.
Besides - if you don't do a good job, it will be very difficult for you to be given the opportunity to manage others, and that skill will go undiscovered.

Both are important, but being able to motivate people to work is extremely important. The world seems to have alot of bodies that don't really want to work very well or enough!

1. working really well
2. knowing how to get people to work well
you only need 1 leader for a handful of people so the workers are more important because they get the job done.

Knowing how to work really well is more important because that will lead to you knowing how to get people to work very well. It's like baking a cake. If you don't know how to bake the cake well, then how can you expect yourself to teach others how to bake a cake?
Do you gets??

Both are essential, because if you show that you are Super-Human and that good hard honest work is "beneath" you, then you will not get the most out of your workers. You will end up working alone and being very resented.

Knowing how to get people to work well. The wealthiest people in the world know how to do this, that's why they're the ceo's of whatever fortune 500 company they are the ceos for.
