Richard Russell ⤴'s Linkedin Analytics

"We're slower now with 100 people than we were with 10 people" said the CEO of a Series C Scaleup, frustrated. I’d heard it before - many of my clients come to me with similar problems. When they were starting out, everything happened quickly - new features, decisions, communication. But with every new hire comes a new set of opinions, with every new customer, new features, and with every new investor, new expectations. New features start to take months, even years. Decisions need a committee and just getting everyone aligned is a full time job. Conflicts fester and grow, silos are built, and no matter how much communication we do, it just gets worse. Each company and each team is different, but the problems and root causes are fairly common. Here’s where I can help. 🏭 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈 𝐃𝐎 I help CEOs solve the Scaleup Slowdown by building a customised Execution Flywheel for their business, where every step contributes to building unstoppable momentum. The Execution Flywheel has five components - Strategy, Goals, Plans, Action, Review - each designed to engage and align your team further, generating results every step of the way. 👨 𝐖𝐇𝐎 𝐈 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄 👩 Most of my clients are CEOs and Executives of high-growth scaleups - most often Series A-C. ⚙️ 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐈 𝐃𝐎 𝐈𝐓 I have a four step process: 1. Discovery Sprint - I interview your team and review your business around the five components of the Execution Flywheel. 2. Briefing - We’ll discuss the outcomes and recommendations, and make some decisions about next steps. 3. Leadership Workshop - We’ll implement your custom Execution Flywheel in one week, engaging the rest of the organisation as we go. 4. Get Going - You’ll begin executing with newfound focus and alignment, and a system that keeps getting better as you use it. As you run your Flywheel, I’ll support you with consultations and coaching as needed. 💡 𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐒 I’ve taken the best of what the most successful companies do (not just Amazon and Google, but hundreds of others I’ve worked with), and adapted it to help you get results fast, without the process overheads. But more than that, I customise the whole approach to best fit the specific pains and challenges your organisation faces right now - a generic approach won’t work for you, because your business has different problems and culture. ☎️ 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊?
