THE HERO TAX
How high performers accidentally sabotage scale
There's a pattern I've been seeing across every organization I work with: the strongest leaders are creating an expensive problem nobody sees coming, and it's directly limiting growth
Which is why I've spent the last couple of years developing a workshop specifically designed to solve for this. It's called The Hero Tax: How High Performers Accidentally Sabotage Scale
In one session, we:
- Identify the over-functioning patterns that create organizational dependencies
- Calculate the Hero Tax (real dollars lost to inefficient talent deployment)
- Map the scaling obstacles your brightest leaders are unknowingly creating
- Design succession depth so growth isn't limited by individual capacity
- Install accountability systems that eliminate bottlenecks within 30 days
It's part operational audit, part behavioral intervention, part strategic planning , and part comedy show. If you're ready to unlock the growth capacity hidden in your leadership team, The Hero Tax workshop is the perfect place to start.
Brent demonstrates vulnerability, is incredibly curious, and leverages a set of proven tools to learn, assess, and share improvement ideas. I find Brent to be competent, empathetic and empowering. All the while, he drives accountability which yields growth.
