In this Founder Foundations episode, Steve walks through building a functional org chart, mapping what roles a business needs, separate from who currently fills them.
He explains why founders should design for a multi-year vision of the company rather than staffing around today's constraints, and why clear position accountabilities matter both for management clarity and for employee retention.
He ties it back to a bigger point: a business with real structure and a capable team is worth more, both to the founder's quality of life and to a future buyer, than one that still runs on the founder's back.
