Building Your Exec Team: The Decisions That Determine Your Company's Ceiling

Building Your Exec Team: The Decisions That Determine Your Company's Ceiling

You're drowning in growth. Every decision lands on your desk. You know you need help, but the thought of handing off terrifies you.

Some founders hire and scale beautifully. Others hire and stall. The difference isn't luck—it's who you bring in first and how you set them up.

What You'll Learn

• What actually breaks at your stage—and who solves for it--Most founders misdiagnose the problem. We'll walk through the pattern: what slows you down first, why experience ≠ fit, and the questions that separate real bottlenecks from false ones.
• How to spot adaptability over credentials--The person who crushed it at a $500M company might be lost at $5M. You'll learn what actually predicts success in chaos—and how to evaluate judgment, not just résumé.
• Why hiring your clone fails--Your instinct is to find someone just like you. That's usually where founders go wrong. We'll discuss how to hire your complement.
• Real war stories: what happened when it worked (and when it didn't)

The decisions you make before day one determine whether they accelerate or stall. We'll cover compensation, decision rights, and what you hand off completely.
