I help founders build companies that don't need them in every decision.
I work one to one with founders, CEOs and their leadership teams in growing service businesses, so the day-to-day stops running through one person.
Most founders I meet don't have an effort problem. They have a company that was built around them and never redesigned.
I know it from the inside. As a COO, I grew a company from $5M to $19.2M and 250 people in two years. In those two years I learned that growth only holds when decisions stop routing through one person.
That's why I do this work, and why I wrote The Rubicon Leader: so you can lead your company instead of carrying it.
A capable team, and everything still lands on your desk.
Every decision comes back to you
Your team can do the work. Anything that needs judgment still waits for you.
Time off isn't time off
A week away buys you a week of messages and two weeks of catch-up.
More growth, more stress
Revenue is up. Margin and your free time are not.
It isn't a work-ethic problem. It's a design problem, and it can be fixed.
