Course 2A: Build a Company That Doesn't Need Your Permission
From Founder Dependency to Decision Infrastructure
Your business is growing, but somehow every important decision, approval, exception, and escalation still finds its way back to you. If progress slows when you're unavailable, you're not just leading the business. You're functioning as its operating system.
Course 2A: Build a Company That Doesn't Need Your Permission is designed to enable founders to replace dependency with structure. You'll identify where your organization relies on you, establish clear decision ownership, build authority frameworks, transfer decision-making responsibility to leaders, and create accountability systems that allow the company to operate without constant founder involvement. By the end of the course, you'll have built a complete Decision Infrastructure Playbook™ that reduces founder dependency, accelerates decision-making, and creates organizational ownership.
What You'll Build
Throughout five implementation-focused modules, you'll create:
Who This Course Is For
