The People Call, the System Behind It, and the Owner Who Lives It
Three real situations from the field. Jane opens each one on the people call, Alejandro follows on the system underneath, and Josh Donahue — owner of Audrey’s Barkyard in Wake Forest — makes it real with how it played out in his own business. Roughly twelve minutes per situation, then the room takes over with questions.
If one of these feels uncomfortably familiar, bring it — that’s what the room is for.
What we’ll walk through
- Who owns what — teams out of sync, and every decision landing back on the owner
- The underperformer you’re close to — a friend or relative in a key role who isn’t delivering
- Handing it over — stepping back, and what actually gets handed over
