How To Build An Effective Executive Team

Elevate With Jack Delosa

In the seed and startup stages of business chances are you’re forced to do almost everything from a leadership perspective. You might have juniors in your team, who are able to do things 60% as well as you, but the majority of the day-to-day management probably still rests on your shoulders. If you're launching a market campaign, you're the one leading it. If you’re building a new sales process, you're the driving it. If you’re building a new product, or a new service for your customers, you're the one figuring out how to do it. In all these situations the common denominator is that you are the HOW person. If you want your business to grow you need to shift this paradigm - you need to stop thinking ‘How can I do this?’ and start thinking ‘Who can do this?’ If you insist on remaining the ‘how’ person there will always be a glass ceiling to growth, because no matter how much you try and get out of yourself personally, you’re only human. There’s only so much you can do each day. Instead you should be thinking: How do I bring on exceptional leaders? And how do I induct them, train them and help them develop to a point where they can perform these functions better than I can? In this podcast I’ll share key frameworks and tips to enable you to do just this. Follow these frameworks, and you’ll be able to gradually elevate yourself out of the day-to-day and become the conductor of the orchestra, instead of trying to play every instrument yourself.
