Two Decisions Instead of Two Hundred

A supplier contract ended and most of the business went with it, overnight. What saved it was a document written a month earlier that nobody had wanted to write.Chris Jones built a sporting goods company out of a product he invented because he could not catch a football, ran it for nearly two decades, and now works with leadership teams on the operating system that got him through the worst of it. This conversation is about what happens after the floor goes.What's Inside- The contingency plan a mentor made him write before there was anything to plan for, and what it was worth when the call came- Why decision capacity collapses under stress, and how a written plan turns hundreds of choices into a couple- What the recovery actually looked like on the other side, and how long it took to pass where they had been- The operating system underneath it: getting everyone on the same page, executing with accountability, and keeping the leadership team honest with each other- Why most leaders believe they delegate badly, and why their teams agree with them- The reason delegation fails even when the plan is sound, and what it means to be arguing with the emotional part of the brain rather than the rational one- Why a good year for an owner usually comes down to two or three decisions, and what has to be cleared out of the way to make them well- What happens to judgment when you never stop sprinting Connect with Chris:Website: https://www.relentlesschrisjones.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjonesyyc/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/RelentlessChrisJones/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/relentlesschrisjones Download chapter one of Relentless AF https://www.relentlesschrisjones.com Connect with Growing the FutureWebsite: growingthefuture.caYouTube: Growing the FutureInstagram: @growingthefuturepodcastLinkedIn: Growing the FutureSubscribe to the Growing the Future Podcast wherever you listen, and register for Convergence Conference 2027 at convergence.ag.  Register for the Convergence Conference at convergence.ag and stay updated by subscribing to the Growing the Future Podcast at growingthefuturepodcast.ca.
