There are several types of GCs, perhaps he is not the right PM for you. 1st form of GC 1 person with a contractors license plus 1-2 guys (couldn't really finish the job on time and on budget, tends to give you a low price but during the work, you get yelled at because it's not their fault that this or that happened), 2nd form 1 licensed person 5 workers + specialty subs (could finish on time, tends to give you a low bid but every nut and bold will be a change order), 3rd form 1 licensed + 2-3 supers + all subs (decent overhead, on time and on budget, they wouldn't issue a change order if it's something below $1,000), 4th form 1 corporate license + several project managers + several superintendents + a lot of supervisors (design and build contractors or above).

Some businesses are more bold and will hire the head anticipating growth which means running with a loss or some debt, but if you don't grow that is going to eat away at you.The One Thing - This book I found very enlightening and great for creating focus and effectiveness.
