Most founders don’t have a delegation problem — they have a decision clarity problem. You’ve already hired capable people and documented processes, but work still routes back to you because no one is sure what they’re allowed to decide.
That’s what decision rights solve. They define who can make which decisions without asking, which decisions need alignment, and which truly need to escalate. When those boundaries are clear, execution speeds up, SOPs finally stick, and you stop being the default decision-maker, without micromanaging or losing control.
I help install ownership, decision rights, and operating rhythm so the business stops depending on the founder’s memory.
Your business doesn’t need more SOP’s.
It needs decision clarity.
Common signs you’re the bottleneck
You approve most work before it goes out
“Just checking if this is okay” happens daily
SOPs exist but aren’t followed without reminders
Decisions stall when you’re unavailable
Meetings don’t move work forward without you
If this sounds familiar, you’re not failing — the system is incomplete.
You hired help.
You documented processes.
You run meetings and set priorities.
And yet, the business still depends on you to keep moving.
Decisions come back to you.
Work pauses when you’re unavailable.
SOPs exist, but don’t hold without your involvement.
You’re not overwhelmed because you’re doing too much.
You’re overwhelmed because the business still relies on your judgment to function.
This is the stage where many service businesses quietly stall:
post-hire, pre-scale, and founder-dependent.
You approve most work before it goes out
“Just checking if this is okay” happens daily
SOPs exist but still require your judgment
Meetings happen, but execution is inconsistent
Problems pile up until they become urgent
The bottleneck isn’t your team. And it isn’t you.
The real problem is decision ambiguity.
Your team may be capable and motivated — but when it’s unclear who owns what and what decisions they’re allowed to make, everything escalates to the founder.
That’s why delegation feels fragile.
That’s why approvals live in Slack.
That’s why execution slows when you step away.
This isn’t a leadership or motivation problem.
It’s an operational clarity problem.
When decision clarity is missing, people hesitate — not because they’re incapable, but because they don’t know what they’re allowed to decide.
Clear decision rights define who can decide what without asking, which decisions need alignment, and which truly need to escalate. When those boundaries are clear, execution speeds up and the founder stops being the default decision-maker.
Delegation fails when decision clarity is missing — not when people are incapable.
Who I Work With
I work with founders whose businesses still depend on them to function.
You’ve already done what most people recommend.
You hired a team.
You documented processes.
You hold meetings and set priorities.
And yet — decisions still route through you. Execution slows when you’re unavailable. SOPs exist, but don’t hold without your involvement.
I work with service-based founders in this exact stage:
Post-hire, but pre-scale
Smart, capable teams — but unclear ownership
A business that can run… but still waits for the founder to decide
This isn’t a leadership or motivation problem.
It’s an operational clarity problem.
You’re likely a fit if:
You’re the default decision-maker, even with a team in place
People ask “Is this okay?” more than they execute
SOPs exist, but still require your judgment
Meetings happen, but don’t consistently move work forward
Growth feels capped by your availability
What I Actually Do
I don’t step in as “the operator” so you can keep carrying the business.
I install the missing infrastructure that allows execution to happen without you:
Clear ownership (who owns outcomes, not just tasks)
Decision clarity (what your team can decide without asking)
Operating cadence (how priorities, metrics, and issues get reviewed weekly)
The result is a business that runs because the system works — not because you’re constantly involved.
How I Install Decision Clarity
(not just documentation)
Step 1: Decision Mapping
We identify exactly where decisions get stuck: approvals, handoffs, rework, and repeated conversations.
Step 2: Ownership Installation
Each core process gets a clear owner, outcome, and authority level — not just steps.
Step 3: Operating Cadence
Weekly rhythms for metrics, priorities, and issue resolution so decisions don’t live in Slack or your head.
Step 4: Execution Reinforcement
We make the system unavoidable — roles, meetings, and scorecards reinforce the same structure.
The goal: decisions happen without you, and issues surface before they become fires.
