Single-Threaded Leadership Model

"The best way to fail at inventing something is to make it somebody's part-time job." — Bill Carr

What It Is

An organizational model where a single leader is fully accountable for a specific business goal and controls the cross-functional resources (engineering, product, marketing) needed to achieve it, minimizing external dependencies.

When To Use

• Company becomes complex and innovation slows
• Cross-team dependencies cause bottlenecks
• Bureaucratic resource fighting between departments
• Need to move with startup speed within a large org
