Develop People & Scale Leadership

Описание: On a Week 4 Inner Circle call, Hector teaches “developed people and scale leadership,” arguing founders can’t treat people development like an HR checkbox. He presents the idea that every company is limited by talent density multiplied by leadership depth, and that real scaling requires systems built into daily work rather than annual reviews. He explains a growth model driven by three levers-challenging people beyond current capacity, increasing feedback density, and deepening context so people understand the why-while emphasizing that founders often miss the multiplication factor of developing people who can develop others.




Hector outlines a five-level capability ladder (Executor, Problem Solver, Owner, Leader, Architect) and describes how to move people from doer to owner and leader by transferring accountability early, building context with metrics/KPIs, and holding clear standards without prescribing methods, while warning against micromanagement and burnout. He proposes creating a capability map for every role and illustrates it with a dispatcher Level 1–3 example, where Level 3 includes developing others. The session closes with a practical challenge to map one team member’s path to future leadership with specific gaps, projects, deliverables, and evidence, and includes discussion with Willy about implementing role blueprints at Willy’s Trucking, resulting in improved efficiency, fewer accidents and damages, better on-time delivery, stronger profits, reduced turnover, and more promotion-from-within.
