Growth and Scaling Workshop Session Nine
In the competitive landscape of scaling a business, attracting and retaining top talent is crucial for sustained growth. Compensation Programs for Founders, Managers, and Executives Using Equity is a masterclass designed for CEOs of companies with $1M to $30M in annual revenue who are committed to building a high-performing team by offering equity-based compensation that aligns the interests of key employees with the company’s long-term success.
This course delves into the strategic use of equity as a powerful tool to incentivize and retain your top talent, ensuring that your leadership team remains committed and motivated to drive the company forward. You will learn how to structure equity compensation plans for founders, managers, and executives, understand the legal and financial implications, and explore best practices for implementing these programs effectively.
Participants will gain insights into the nuances of equity distribution, including how to balance equity grants among founders, board members, and key employees while minimizing dilution and maximizing the value of equity for all stakeholders. This session is essential for any CEO looking to leverage equity to build a dedicated and aligned leadership team capable of scaling the business.

There is no MBA program or university in the world that teaches CEOs, Managers and Executives how to scale a company.
Jim Collins, in the classic, best-selling book Good To Great, found it took the average “great” company 8 to 10 years to figure out its internal systems to scale. At AirTight Management, we have been helping companies do this in 12 to 18 months since 2011.
