How Self-Managing Organizations Unlock 8-Figure Growth — Leon Van Der Laan | Why Founders Burn Out, Why Delegation Fails Without Structure, What Team Ownership Looks Like, How Mission Clarity Boosts Autonomy, How Self-managed Teams Drive Growth (#403)

In this episode of the Ecommerce Coffee Break podcast, Claus Lauter interviews Leon Van Der Laan about self-managing organizations and how they can help e-commerce brands scale to eight figures and beyond. Leon defines a self-managing organization as one that doesn't depend on the founder's involvement, allowing the founder to transition from operator to leader. He discusses the importance of clarity in long-term vision, mission, and values, and the mindset shift required for founders to delegate effectively and build a culture of ownership and autonomy within their teams. Leon also shares his remote framework and coaching approach to help founders overcome their fears of losing control and build an environment where results are driven by the team, not just the founder.
