3 Signs You’re the Problem

The hardest conversation in business isn’t with your team... It’s with the person in the mirror. In this episode of The Fitz & Franson Show, Fitz and Franson break down why so many business owners become the biggest bottleneck in their own company. If your team can’t make decisions without you… If your phone rings all day with “got a minute?” questions… If your business falls apart the second you leave the building… Here’s the truth: your company may have outgrown your current capacity as a leader. This conversation gets into the founder’s trap, the danger of micromanagement, why mistakes are often tuition, and why leaders need to let their people “hurry up and fail” before the stakes get higher. We also talk about the book Extreme Ownership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, and why taking ownership of the chaos is the first step toward building a company that can actually scale.

You’re still wearing the Chief Firefighter badge. Your team’s performance drops when you leave the building. 3 things to do this week: Start asking: “What do you think we should do?” Fire yourself from one major role. Measure leadership by how many decisions your team makes without you. Next week, we’re getting into one of the touchiest leadership topics yet: why I fired my best sales rep. We’ll break down the toxic A-player, the culture killer, and why holding onto your top producer might be bankrupting your team. READY TO SCALE YOUR BUSINESS?
