Ownership Strategy: Separate a Smaller Role From an Unfilled Role

Medro Advisors · Research and commentary from Don McClain

By Don McClain | Founder & Principal, Medro Advisors

The archived ownership-strategy article connects capital with an owner’s eventual transition. Test a proposed reduction in owner involvement using an ordinary week, not an emergency absence. List pricing exceptions, hiring choices and customer escalations the owner still handles. Assign each to an operating role and establish an escalation boundary. A new title or manager does not automatically transfer judgment. Identify training and decision rights before treating the owner’s released time as available for another acquisition.
