Kaizen Summit is a leadership development programme for founders and the leadership teams around them. It's for people whose business has grown to the point where too much still runs through them, and who want the discipline, structure and consistency to scale beyond it. Founders reclaim their time, teams take real ownership, and growth stops depending on the founder being in every decision.
FROM OUR CO-FOUNDER
Is this you? Mark explains who we help, and how.
THE DIAGNOSTIC
Where is the pressure really coming from?
Nine questions. Two minutes. An honest read on what is holding you back, and the one thing that changes it. No email needed to start.
Take the free assessmentTHE PROBLEM
The business grew. The way you lead it hasn't caught up.
Most founders at this stage are not doing anything wrong. You built the business on your own judgement, your own standards, your own effort. That's exactly why it works. It's also why it can't grow past you.
Decisions wait for you, so everything moves at your pace.
You delegate the task, but the ownership stays with you.
The team is busy, but you are still the one solving the real problems.
Growth makes it heavier, not lighter, because more of it runs through you.
This isn't a flaw in you. It's the stage you're at. And the way through isn't another system. It's developing how you and your team lead.
Not sure how far this runs in your business? The two-minute diagnostic will show you.THE COST
What it costs you to stay the bottleneck.
Your time
The hours go on decisions only you will make, not the work that grows the business.
Your focus
You carry every open problem in your head, so you are never fully off and never fully sharp.
Your margin
Growth costs more than it should, because it all runs back through one person: you.
Your team
Good people stay small, because you keep hold of the calls that would stretch them.
Your ceiling
The business can only grow to the size of what you can personally hold. Then it stops.
Your business value
A company that depends on you is worth less, and harder to sell, than one that runs without you.
THE SOLUTION
We develop how you lead, so the business doesn't need you in every decision.
Lead With Ownership isn't a course you watch and forget. It's structured leadership development for you and the people you lead, built on the same principles used to train military leaders and applied to how you run a business. You learn to lead in a way that builds ownership in your team, so the work no longer routes back through you.
Built on Extreme Ownership. The leadership framework that holds under real pressure, adapted for founders and their teams.
You and your team together. We develop the whole leadership layer, not just you, because a business changes when the people around you start to own their decisions.
Delivered two ways. Online over twelve focused workshops, or as a residential intensive. Same principles, different depth.
WHO DEVELOPS YOU
The people who develop you have led where it counts.

THE FORMAT
Two ways to do the work.
Online
Twelve focused workshops, delivered live over video. You and your leadership team learn together, one session at a time, applying it to your business as you go. Built to fit around the running of a real company.
Residential
An intensive at China Fleet. You and your team step out of the day to day and go deep, fast. The same principles, delivered in person, with the focus that only comes from being in the room together.
Same principles. Same standard. You choose the depth that fits.
THE CURRICULUM
The twelve workshops.
Each one takes a real leadership problem and gives your team a way through it.
QUESTIONS
The things people ask before they book.

Personal Mentoring
"Kaizen Summit offers an excellent mentoring service. I found it so much easier to set personal goals and align priorities with the advice and guidance of an experienced mentor. If you have a busy life with too much to think about, outsourcing accountability and checking in with a mentor is a great tool to keep you on track."
