The biggest bottleneck of your company may be you

Entrepreneur who does not delegate, does not multiply. Who makes all the decisions in the arm ends up turning the very limit of growth of the company. According to the MXE Group, educational reference in solutions for entrepreneurs and their companies, this is one of the most difficult truths to accept for those who undertake in Brazil.

And it is accompanied by other equally common diagnoses: high turnover, improvised processes, feeling operation, time lost with bureaucracy, lack of predictability and low maturity in people management.The reflection of this is visible: according to Sebrae, more than 50% of small and medium-sized companies close their doors in up to four years.

“There is a lot of entrepreneurs who grow without structure, push, and one hour the bill arrives. Growth without management is risk. Growth without processes is chaos. Growth without good team is exhaustion”, says Felipe Cintra, CEO of MXE Group.

The invisible pains that hold your company back

1. You can't delegate and you think no one does better than you

Centralization can work in the first few years, but then hangs up. The leader needs to exit the operation and form a second layer of management.

Diagnosis: Lack of intermediate leadership and culture of autonomy.

Solution: Team structuring, role definition and real decentralization (with security and monitoring).

2. Its operation depends on people who “know how to make”, but not on processes that guarantee the result

The company is vulnerable to the departure of a single employee.

Diagnosis: Management based on key people, without knowledge backup.

Solution: Process mapping and standardization, KPI deployment, and use of AI to create predictability.

3. You put out fires every day and you can't look at growth

The short term consumes everything.

Diagnosis: Reactive management, without strategic planning.

Solution: Indicator routine, prioritization methodology and analysis culture (with AI support for data reading).

4. Your turnover is high and you normalized it

If you think that everyone “pula of employment even”, beware: this may be a direct reflection of your management.

Diagnosis: Lack of clarity about culture, goals, responsibilities, and growth plan.

Solution: HR restructuring, development trails and organizational culture reinforcement.

5. You still try to scale the company with the same tools you used when you had 5 employees

Spreadsheets, manual annotations, controls in WhatsApp.

Diagnosis: Limited technology, handmade operation and bottleneck in processes.

Solution: Implementation of ERPs, integration of areas and use of artificial intelligence for faster and more accurate decisions.

“Business that depends 100% on the founder to function is not ready to scale. The entrepreneur needs to exit the mode IO does everything’ and assume the role of strategist.This is what allows to grow with” consistency, concludes the CEO.
