Businessman who does not delegate, does not multiply. Whoever makes all the decisions in the arm ends up becoming the company’s own growth limit. 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, operation in the feeling, lost time 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 within four years.
“There are a lot of entrepreneurs who grow without structure, they are pushing, and one hour the account arrives. Growth without management is risk. Growth without processes is chaos. Growth without a good team is exhaustion”, says Felipe Cintra, CEO of the MXE Group.
The invisible pains that hold your business
- You can’t delegate – And think no one does better than you
Centralization can work in the first few years, but then it crashes. The leader needs to leave 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 follow-up).
- its operation depends on people who “know how to do it”, 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: Mapping and standardization of processes, implementation of KPIs and use of AI to create predictability.
- You put out fires every day and can’t look at the growth
The short term consumes everything.
Diagnosis: Reactive management, without strategic planning.
Solution: Routine of indicators, prioritization methodology and analysis culture (with AI support for data reading).
- Your turnover is high – and you normalized it
If you think that everyone “jumps a job”, be careful: this can be a direct reflection of your management.
Diagnosis: Lack of clarity about culture, goals, responsibilities and growth plan.
Solution: HR restructuring, development trails and reinforcement of organizational culture.
- You still try to scale the company with the same tools you used when you had 5 employees
spreadsheets, manual notes, controls on 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 correct decisions.
“Business that depends 100% on the founder to function is not ready to climb. The entrepreneur needs to leave the ‘does everything’ mode and assume the role of strategist.
