Scaling a company isn’t just about working harder—it’s about making better decisions, faster, and aligning your team to execute with clarity. For founders and CEOs, the pressure to grow, lead, and deliver results can feel like a full-time sprint.
That’s where a Scaling Up Coach comes in.
If you’re building a high-growth business and want more time, higher margins, and a team that runs without constant oversight, working with a certified Scaling Up Coach may be the best strategic move you make.
What Is Scaling Up Coaching?
Unlike traditional business coaching, Scaling Up Coaching is built on a proven system: the Scaling Up framework (also known as Rockefeller Habits 2.0), created by Verne Harnish—author of Scaling Up: How a Few Companies Make It…and Why the Rest Don’t.
It focuses on four core decisions that drive scale:
-
People
-
Strategy
-
Execution
-
Cash
Your coach guides you through powerful tools like the One-Page Strategic Plan (OPSP) and Rockefeller Habits Checklist™, helping you turn chaos into clarity and bottlenecks into breakthroughs. This isn’t theory—it’s a hands-on, tactical blueprint for scaling companies that stick.
The Four Core Areas of Scaling Up Coaching
1. People – Build the Team That Gets It Done
If your team isn’t right, nothing else will work.
Your coach will help you assess:
-
Are the right people in the right roles?
-
Would you enthusiastically rehire every team member?
-
Are your employees engaged and aligned with your mission?
The goal is a high-performance team culture where accountability and execution are the norm—not the exception.
2. Strategy – Clarify the Path to Scalable Growth
Growth without direction creates confusion. A Scaling Up Coach helps you define your "Due North"—your guiding purpose, long-term vision, and clear company priorities.
Together, you’ll answer:
-
Is your strategy simple, scalable, and easy to communicate?
-
Does every team member know how their work contributes to revenue and profit growth?
A clear strategy not only drives results—it aligns your entire company behind one mission.
3. Execution – Build a Machine That Delivers
Execution is where great ideas win or die.
Your coach installs the systems that keep your operations tight:
-
Weekly and quarterly meeting rhythms
-
Team KPIs and scorecards
-
Real-time progress tracking
No more firefighting or misaligned priorities. Just clear, measurable progress quarter after quarter.
4. Cash – Protect and Accelerate Your Fuel for Growth
Without cash, you can’t scale. Simple as that.
A Scaling Up Coach helps you:
-
Implement Cash Acceleration Strategies
-
Improve your Power of One metrics (pricing, costs, etc.)
-
Forecast and manage cash flow with discipline
The result? More liquidity, less stress, and better control over your growth runway.
