Who is Pete Srodoski?

Every owner of a small business eventually reaches the same wall: the enterprise works because they are in it every day, and it stops working the moment they are not. Pete Srodoski writes for the people standing at that wall. Build Kickass Teams belongs to the Build a Business That Runs Without You sequence, and the series name states the ambition so plainly that the book barely needs to.

The emphasis falls on people rather than systems. Hiring, delegation, accountability and the awkward business of letting competent adults do things differently from the way you would do them: this is the unglamorous middle of management, treated as a craft rather than a set of slogans. The tone is direct, occasionally blunt, and impatient with theory that has never met a payroll.

Pete Srodoski in audiobooks

Close to six hours, read by Jeff Cecil, whose brisk, conversational delivery suits material meant to be absorbed between meetings rather than studied at a desk.

Scores from early listeners sit high, and the practical structure makes it easy to take a chapter at a time and act on it before moving on. Newcomers to the sequence can start right here; nothing earlier is assumed. Have a look at the audiobook below.
