Founder’s Program
Helping founders of early and mid-stage companies to solidify their businesses.
I.
Institutionalize Trust
We all have a trust profile - the necessary conditions for us to trust a person or group. It’s based on all the ways we have built or broken trust historically. I help founders to understand their Trust Profile and use that understanding to build the governance structure of the company. The benefits being building a structure of trust into the company governance and enabling a founder to let go of control and empower senior leaders.
II.
Business Health
Founders need a broad and deep mechanism to stay connected to the health of the business. While financial health is trackable - how do you assess the health of office culture, people, products or services and community/partnerships? I help founders develop a conceptual and physical framework to stay connected to the health of the business and then a mechanism to prioritize initiatives/funding for those projects with the greatest impact to the most dimensions.
III.
Business Governance
Business governance is the system that keeps the business on track, accountable and moving forward. Who are your senior leaders and what do they oversee? Is there role clarity? Do they have goals that ladder up to organizational goals? What is the meeting cadence? What are artifacts to make the meetings productive? Are you doing succession planning and who are the next rung of leaders? What is your leadership model to reflects your values, mission and what makes your organization unique. How do you use your values as a decision-making framework? I help founders give shape to all of this as a way to building a business that only they can.
IV.
Leadership Mastery
Founders need dynamism in leadership. Different styles for different situations. They need to understand themselves deeply, to get clear on what kind of environment they are building. Using the Enneagram philosophy, my leadership mastery course gives founders deep insight into themselves, the ability to craft their personal genius and shadow and upgrades to how they communicate, collaborate, innovate and mentor.
