Welcome back to The COO Solution Podcast! In this solo episode, host Derek Fredrickson tackles one of the biggest (and often most ignored) reasons businesses plateau: team misalignment.
Whether you’re leading a small but mighty team or managing a fast-growing company, your next level of growth depends on more than just sales and systems—it hinges on your people. In this episode, Derek shares how to utilize the “Right People, Right Seats” framework to audit your team, identify misalignment, and make informed leadership decisions that propel the business forward. You’ll walk away with practical strategies to assess your team’s current structure, clarify expectations, and realign your team to support your future growth.
📌 Why This Matters
Your systems and offers won’t scale unless your people can support them. By aligning your team to your vision, values, and future goals, you remove the friction that slows growth and reclaim the energy to lead with clarity and confidence.
