Businessman who does not delegate, does not multiply. Whoever makes all the decisions alone ends up becoming the company's own growth limit. According to theMXE Group, educational reference in solutions for entrepreneurs and their companies, this is one of the hardest truths to accept for those who do business in Brazil
And it comes accompanied by other equally common diagnoses: high turnover, improvised processes, operation in feeling, time wasted 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 enterprises close their doors within four years
"There are many entrepreneurs who grow without structure", keep pushing, and in an hour the bill 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 back your company
- You can't delegate –and thinks that no one does it better than you
Centralization can work in the first years, but then it freezes. The leader needs to step out of operations and form a second layer of management
Diagnosis: Lack of middle management and culture of autonomy
Solution: Team structuring, definition of roles and real decentralization (with security and monitoring)
- Your operation depends on people who "know how to do", but not of processes that guarantee the result
The company becomes vulnerable to the departure of a single employee
Diagnosis: Key person-based management, 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 see the 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)
- Your turnover is high – and you normalized this
If you think that everyone "jumps jobs anyway", careful: this may be a direct reflection of your management
Diagnosis: Lack of clarity about culture, goals, responsibilities and growth plan
Solution: HR Restructuring, development paths and reinforcement of organizational culture
- You are still trying to scale the company with the same tools you used when you had 5 employees
Spreadsheets, manual notes, controls on WhatsApp
Diagnosis: Limited technology, artisanal operation and bottleneck in processes
Solution: Implementation of ERPs, integration of areas and use of artificial intelligence for faster and more accurate decisions
A business that depends 100% on the founder to operate is not ready to scale. The entrepreneur needs to move out of the 'do-it-all' mode and take on the role of strategist. This is what allows for consistent growth, concluded the CEO
