Leadership Workbook June 2026 Fill-In & Print

Centralized Vision, Decentralized Execution

The practical worksheet version of my operating model. For faith-driven leaders who are anointed to multiply but tired of being the bottleneck.

You Own
Centralized Vision
Your Team Owns
Decentralized Execution
You set the strategy. Your leaders execute at their level. This workbook turns that principle into structure you can run Monday morning.

Centralized Vision Workbook Introduction

Introduction

I built this workbook as the practical companion to my teaching on systems and multiplication. The video and premium guide explain why the anointing needs structure. This workbook is how you install the model in your business, nonprofit, or ministry this week.

Who This Is For

  • Founders and executives who are still in every decision
  • Ministry and nonprofit leaders scaling beyond what one person can carry
  • Department heads learning to lead through commander's intent, not constant approval
  • Anyone who heard "centralized vision, decentralized execution" and said, "Okay, but what do I actually do on Monday?"

What You Will Complete

This workbook walks you through five tools. Each one is one section you can print, fill out, and hand to your leadership team.

  1. One-Page Org Model — map who owns vision and who owns execution
  2. Decision Rights Matrix — name who decides, who consults, and what escalates
  3. Commander's Intent Template — give leaders clarity so they can act without you
  4. Weekly Reporting Rhythm — monitor progress without micromanaging
  5. 2-Week "Without Me" Test — prove the operation can run when you step back
How to use it: Fill out Tool 01 and Tool 03 first. Share commander's intent with one leader this week. Install the weekly rhythm from Tool 04. Then run the 2-week test in Tool 05. Your answers save automatically in your browser when you work online. Print when you want a hard copy for your team.
If every decision requires you, you are not leading. You are bottlenecking. This workbook fixes that.

Centralized Vision Workbook Tool 01 — Org Model

Tool 01: One-Page Org Model

Map who owns vision and who owns execution. Keep it to one page. If it does not fit on one page, you are overcomplicating it.

You Own
Centralized Vision
Your Team Owns
Decentralized Execution

One paragraph max. Strategy, direction, success definition. This is what only you set.

List each leader, their scope, and what they own without asking you.

Be honest. This list should be short.

How I Run It
At Inspired Solutions, Isabella and I set centralized vision. Program managers, project managers, and department leaders execute at their level. A customer can email me directly, and my program manager may already have it handled before I respond.

Centralized Vision Workbook Tool 02 — Decision Matrix

Tool 02: Decision Rights Matrix

Clarity kills chaos. For each decision type, name who decides, who is consulted, and who must be informed. If you are the decider on everything, scale will stall.

Decision Type Who Decides Who Consults Notes / Threshold
Annual strategy / vision
Customer / client escalations
Hiring (final selection)
Spending / purchases

Decision Type Who Decides Who Consults Notes / Threshold
Facilities / operations fixes
DR School Example
Our Director of Operations changed heavy-duty bathroom doors without asking me. He already knew my commander's intent. I had been frustrated with flimsy doors coming off the hinges. He made the call. That only works when decision rights are clear.

Centralized Vision Workbook Tool 03 — Commander's Intent

Tool 03: Commander's Intent

Commander's intent tells your leaders what matters to you so they can make the right call without asking permission for every detail. Share this with every leader you empower.

Centralized Vision Workbook Tool 04 — Reporting Rhythm

Tool 04: Weekly Reporting Rhythm

You should be able to monitor progress without micromanaging. I get weekly reports from project managers on Thursdays. Sometimes I join the call. Sometimes I just read the report like everybody else.

Weekly Update Template (Give This to Your Leaders)

Air Force Programs Example
We have three Air Force projects with one project manager. He sends weekly reports on Thursdays. He is running it, keeping me informed, and moving work forward. I read the report. I do not have to be in every meeting for execution to happen.

Centralized Vision Workbook Tool 05 — Without Me Test

Tool 05: 2-Week "Without Me" Test

If you stepped away for two weeks, would the operation keep moving or stall? Do not guess. Run the test on paper first, then in real life.

0 of 10 completed

  • I named one person who owns execution while I pull back from daily decisions.
  • I shared commander's intent in writing before the test starts.
  • I defined what still escalates to me. The list is short.
  • Weekly reporting rhythm is scheduled before day one.
  • Week 1: I resisted taking back decisions that belong to my leaders.
  • Week 1: At least one decision was made without me and it was the right call.

Centralized Vision Workbook Tool 05 — Without Me Test

← Tool 05 continued

  • Week 2: Progress continued without me being in every meeting or email thread.
  • Week 2: I celebrated autonomous wins instead of questioning them.
  • I identified my bottleneck tasks that still need to be delegated.
  • Test result: The operation can work without me in daily execution.
Week 1 Notes
Week 2 Notes
The goal is not to remove yourself from culture. The goal is to remove yourself from tasks the system should own.
