ABOUT THIS EPISODE
No leader wants to become a bottleneck in their own business. But it happens more often than you’d think. As companies grow, the same instincts that helped build the business can start holding it back.
In this episode of The Wealthy Entrepreneur, host Bob Gauvreau sits down with Alicia Rius, founder of Hive Team Coaching and author of “Lead with Clarity”, to unpack why so many growing businesses do not actually have a strategy problem, execution problem or people problem. They have a clarity problem.
Alicia shares how her experience as a fourth-generation entrepreneur, COO, founder and leadership coach shaped her Four P’s framework: personal, people, purpose, and process. She explains why founders need to stop keeping the vision, strategy, values, and priorities in their own heads, especially once the business grows beyond the stage where everyone can simply “figure it out.”
This conversation offers keen insight into why leadership development has to start with identity, how unclear roles create waste and burnout and why the founder who made the business successful can also become the person who makes it fall apart.
