If every decision of real consequence in your business still comes back to you, then you, my lovely, may have inadvertently become the bottleneck to growth. Part 2 of The Ripple Effect: The Founder Bottleneck Is Not Always Where You Think.

The Ripple Effect II: The Growth Bottleneck Isn’t Always Where You Think...
If everything keeps coming back to you, the problem may not be your workload. It may be the way authority, clarity and confidence move through your business

Sure - you solve the problem (again) But your team learns that difficult decisions still belong to you. One rescue becomes a pattern - and creates a business that waits to be rescued because your team think you can't delegate authority 🙄 The Ripple Effect Pt I: Growth Starts at the Centre.

The Ripple Effect I - Growth Starts at the Centre
Your leadership doesn’t stay in your head. It turns up in the decisions, habits and dependencies of the business around you.

A reminder that the Kennedy Center isn’t just a performing arts center, it’s a memorial to President John F. Kennedy and only an evil vindictive vile weak depraved narcissistic pathetic subhuman would spend every waking day trying to deface it and completely destroy it out of spite and jealousy.

The United States doesn't have a Democratic-condoned voter fraud problem. That is a lie. But the United States *definitely* has a Republican-coordinated voter suppresision problem. That is the reality. And only the latter has any effect on our elections.

My posting wet quiet because my appendix burst and I needed emergency surgery. I had scans, morphine, antibiotics, surgery and follow-up. The UK's NHS picked up the bill. Nobody checked whether my surgeon was in network or suggested a fecking GoFundMe to pay for it. So I wrote about it 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
