Operations Systems: How to Delegate Without Losing Control

Episode notes

You’re not too busy to grow. You just don’t have the right operations systems in place. In this episode of Humans of Growth, I sit down with Brandon Bowers, COO of SMB Team, to unpack what actually keeps founders stuck in the day-to-day - and how to fix it. We break down delegation, documentation, hiring triggers, and the systems required to scale without burning out. Inside this conversation, you’ll learn: How to create standard operating procedures without overcomplicating them Why Loom videos are the cheat code to documenting your brain The role of capacity planning in knowing exactly when to hire How to build hiring triggers based on real data, not panic Why recruiting is sales & hiring KPIs matter just as much as revenue KPIs The CEO/COO dynamic that makes sustainable growth possible If you’re a founder who feels like growth requires more hustle… If you’ve hired too late (or too fast)… If your business can’t run without you in the room… This episode is your blueprint for building a company that scales with clarity instead of chaos. ______________________ RESOURCES: Get help finding the right marketing partner.
