You hired people to help you grow. So why does your business feel more chaotic than ever?

For most growing business owners the answer is not the people. It is the missing structure and leadership clarity underneath them. That is exactly what Edwyn helps fix.

Edwyn Kumar is the founder of Ultra Team Development, an executive coaching and business consulting firm helping growing businesses create structure and clarity to scale without the chaos. He spent years in hospitality operations running complex businesses with full authority but always for other people. When he took the leap into entrepreneurship he applied everything he learned about building systems that just work to helping owners build businesses that do not need them for every decision.

In this conversation Ashley and Edwyn talk about spotting the constraint in your corporate career and building a business around removing it, why most people problems are actually systems problems in disguise, and what it takes to go from an owner who is in everything to a leader who works on the business instead of just in it.

In this episode:

• Why Edwyn left hospitality operations to start Ultra Team Development and what constraint finally pushed him out
• Why most people problems in a growing business are actually systems and process problems in disguise
• What organizational fidelity means and why great ideas at the top rarely reach the edges of a business
• Why business owners who finally get a great team often start meddling and how to stop
• The difference between businesses that are stable growing and retracting and why each needs a completely different strategy
• How Edwyn helped a company go from eight million to twenty million in revenue by working the leadership process
• Why frameworks are not buzzwords and how one good framework applies across every part of your business
• What Edwyn would tell himself on day one of entrepreneurship
• Why every solopreneur needs a solopreneur gang

Whether you are a founder whose business is getting noisier instead of clearer as it grows, a consultant building your own practice, or someone considering the entrepreneurship leap, this conversation has something for you.
