As a business grows, every decision still reaching the founder becomes the constraint. Clear decision rights fix that.
- List the decisions that matter most, and who makes each one today.
- Separate the decisions the founder must keep from those that can be delegated.
- Write down the limits: amounts, risks and approvals.
- Review the map with the board or family at least once a year.
If this is a decision in front of you, a senior partner can talk it through with you in a confidential first conversation.
