The book

Let Them Lead!

How to Stop Doing Everything and Build a Team That Runs Without You 

Most owners build a company that runs on them. Every decision routes back to the founder, the team waits for answers, and the work piles up faster than one person can clear it. Bernd Geropp has spent his career fixing that. Six printings in Germany. Now available in English.

What’s Inside

Twelve chapters

Every chapter starts with a sentence founders actually say and ends with the fix

My employees always work on the wrong thing!

I’ve told my employees ten times, and still nothing happened!

My employees simply won’t follow my rules

Another customer complaining about missed deadlines

They’re welcome to try new things, as long as nothing goes wrong!

They always do it differently than I want!

When the house is on fire, I can’t exactly stay calm!

In the end, I have to make all the decisions myself

Today the phone stays off
