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

- Need to move with startup speed within a large org
