Most companies don’t fail because of strategy.
They fail because standards slip.
In this 13-minute vignette, T.J. Rodgers breaks down the management system he’s used across more than 25 acquisitions to build and scale billion-dollar companies — and why discipline, not charisma, determines whether a business survives.
Inside:
• Why 19 out of 20 decisions in your company are made without you
• Why quality must be enforced, not admired
• Why speed of correction matters more than avoiding mistakes
• What “owner means 100% responsible” actually looks like
• How written principles — enforced daily — shape culture
This isn’t theory. It’s operational structure from someone who has spent decades building machines that work.
If you lead people, run a company, or care about performance, this is worth 13 minutes.
