Something completely out of Matt Blakely's control became a big break for his early stage company.
Becoming a control freak almost ruined it.
Fortunately, Matt woke up and realized he was holding his company back - just in time.
He had to be better.
He had to lead better.
Ultimately, he had to let go.
The first thing he did? He sat down with his team and shared his epiphany. Then he asked for their help - to become a better leader.
Talk about eating crow. That's a third trip to the buffet.
Matt decided to \"paint the picture of what he wants to be and what he wants for success.\"
He then laid it out for the team.
Most bought in. Some didn't. That was OK.
What happened next was epic.
