Stop Being the Operating System

How to Build a Business That Runs Without You in the Middle

A practical business book for founders who are no longer alone, but whose company still behaves as if they are.

The central argument

A healthy system is a repeatable way to produce an important outcome without depending on one person’s memory, mood, availability or heroic effort.

The book helps you:

• identify where the company still depends on the founder;
• see the major functions and their owners on one Functional Map;
• repair failing handoffs between functions;
• clarify decision rights before the next decision arrives;
• build one Minimum Viable System at a time;
• review the company from Mission Control instead of standing in every route.

The galaxy

The metaphor stays practical:

• the galaxy is the operating reality of the company;
• the planets are its functions;
• the highways are handoffs and dependencies;
