How to Build a Leadership Team that Scales With You

If you’re still the smartest person in every meeting, you’ve got a problem. The truth is, scaling past $1M requires a leadership team that doesn’t just take direction but sets the direction. The founder-as-chief-firefighter approach only works for so long before it bottlenecks growth. It isn’t sustainable.

The best teams are made up of specialists who thrive in their lane and don’t need hand-holding. Your job shifts from being “doer-in-chief” to coach and culture setter. That means finding people who not only bring expertise but also fit the values that got you here. Because when you trust your leaders, you can finally step out of the weeds and focus on where the company’s really headed.

We even have a podcast episode on this VERY topic! Check it out on The Founder Ride.
