Why Can't My Team Make Important Decisions Without Me?
Could the right person on your team make a $25,000 decision without asking you?
What about . . . $5,000 . . . $1,000 . . . $100?
The dollar amount, although arbitrary, makes the question real.
What matters is whether someone besides you can make a meaningful decision and understand the risk.
If the person does not know what result they are protecting, what financial limit matters, or when to stop, approval will keep moving back to you.
That may feel safer.
It also makes you the company's default approval system - yep, you probably inadvertently designed it that way in an effort to control quality, customer experience, and results.
As the business grows, that gets expensive. Decisions sit longer because there are more of them and still only one of you.
Giving someone a larger spending limit doesn’t fix the problem if the information behind the decision is still missing.
Our Business Performance Analysis helps identify what people need to make good decisions without bringing every important choice back to you.

What is this costing your business?

The Business Performance Analysis looks across seven parts of your business to find the gaps keeping it dependent on your money, time, judgment, or expertise.
