From Contributor to CEO
For doctors, engineers, accountants and other experts stepping up to run the whole operation — the numbers, controls, people and rhythm of an operator.
Who it's for: Newly promoted leaders, practice owners, founders and anyone who has been great at the work and now has to run the business.
You will be able to:
- Read a P&L and cash report and know the five numbers to watch weekly
- Put simple controls on cash, approvals and hiring without slowing the team down
- Run a weekly, monthly and quarterly operating rhythm
- Plan your first 90 days as the person in charge
Includes 8 lessons, a 8-question quiz, a certificate of completion with a verification link, a LinkedIn-ready link, a printable workbook and Monet course coaching.
What the course covers
Lesson 1: The identity shift: from doing the work to building the system
Why the habits that made you excellent can hold the business back, and what an operator actually spends time on.
Lesson 2: Owning the numbers
The P&L, the cash report and the handful of metrics that tell you whether the business is healthy this week.
Lesson 3: Controls without killing speed
Approval limits, separation of duties and cash controls — the minimum set that protects the business from mistakes and fraud.
Lesson 4: From heroics to a team: delegation and hiring
What to hand off first, how to delegate outcomes instead of tasks, and how to hire for the role you need next.
Lesson 5: The operating rhythm
Weekly, monthly and quarterly meetings that keep priorities, numbers and people aligned.
Lesson 6: Decisions under uncertainty
Reversible vs. irreversible decisions, pre-mortems and how to decide with incomplete information.
Lesson 7: Leading people through change
Clear communication, regular feedback and handling hard conversations without avoiding them.
Lesson 8: Your first 90 days as the operator
Listen, stabilise, then improve — a 30/60/90 plan you can adapt to a promotion, a practice or a business you bought.
