Summary
Welcome to a new episode of The Founder Podcast! In today's episode, Chris discusses how to build an effective accountability chart for your business. Unlike traditional organizational charts, accountability charts focus on roles and processes rather than just people. This approach helps in managing growth, avoiding silos, and creating clear paths for accountability and communication within the company. He also shares his personal experiences and provides practical steps to design an accountability chart tailored to your business needs and future goals.
