Bradley Hisle Calls for a Shift in Leadership Culture

Founder of Pinnacle Health Group urges leaders to step back, structure up, and build teams that don't depend on them

Palm Beach County, FL, 6th November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Bradley Hisle, founder of Pinnacle Health Group, is speaking out about a growing issue among entrepreneurs and managers: the lack of scalable systems that allow teams to run without their leader's constant presence.

"If your team can't function without you, you don't have a business," Hisle said. "You have a bottleneck with a title."

Hisle's message comes as more businesses struggle with retention, burnout, and rising pressure to "do more with less." According to a 2023 Gallup study, only 21% of employees strongly agree their performance is managed in a way that motivates them. That same report found that unclear roles and reactive leadership are key reasons for disengagement.

"It's not about working harder. It's about building smarter systems," Hisle explained. "When your team knows what they own, what they can decide, and when to escalate-that's when real leadership starts."

Leadership burnout is on the rise. A survey from Deloitte found that 70% of executives are seriously considering leaving their roles for ones that better support their well-being. Many report feeling stuck in day-to-day tasks, unable to focus on vision or long-term growth.

Hisle says the problem is rarely effort-it's structure.

"I burned out early by trying to do everything. I thought being in control meant I was doing a good job. It took me a while to realize I was in the way," he shared.

He began removing himself from day-to-day operations by building a clear framework:

Defined ownership for every team member

Clear decision rules

Repeatable processes documented in plain language

Tighter, shorter meetings with clear outcomes

The result? A team that works independently, and a company that grows without daily micromanagement.

A Simple System Anyone Can Start Using

Hisle isn't offering a management course or product. He's calling on leaders at all levels to take a few simple actions:

Write down what each team member truly owns

Make it clear when they can make decisions alone

Turn any task you repeat more than twice into a process

Let your team lead meetings-don't always be the one talking

Create a monthly "system check" to ask: what's not working anymore?

"You don't need fancy tools," he said. "You need clarity and the guts to let go."

Hisle admits it's not always easy to step back. But he insists it's the only way to scale with sanity.

"Most leaders I know are tired. Not because they're lazy, but because they're holding too much," he added. "The fix isn't more hustle. It's more structure."

Call to Action: Start with One Process

Hisle challenges business owners and managers to pick one process-onboarding, client delivery, internal reporting-and write it down this week.

Keep it short. No jargon. Just a simple checklist or flow that anyone on the team can follow. Then try stepping back and letting someone else run it.

"If you can't leave for three days without everything breaking, that's your signal," Hisle said. "It means the system still needs work. That's where you focus."
