5 Ways Decentralization Empowers Business Leaders 

If you’re a business leader that has been running your own company for many years, the prospect of having a boss post-acquisition can be anxiety-provoking. But it doesn’t need to be.  

In a decentralized structure, corporate leadership exists to help business leaders improve their companies and grow professionally. Below are some of the top ways our management empowers leaders across Volaris Group.

1. They acknowledge your industry expertise. 

Recognizing that our business leaders know their market better than we do, when they tell us what they need to accelerate their company’s growth, we listen.  

2. They respect your ability to manage day-to-day decisions. 

We trust that our business leaders know what is best for their customers and staff, so we don’t get involved in their day to day decisions.  

3. They make decisions in collaboration with you. 

When it comes to making strategic decisions, our corporate leaders and business unit leaders both get their say.  

4. They mentor you and encourage you to be a mentor to others.   

From marketing to accounting, our corporate leaders are constantly helping our business leaders overcome functional challenges. We share our expertise and bring our leaders together so that they can share their expertise and learn from each other.   

5. They are great career coaches. 

Our corporate leaders help our business leaders take on more strategic roles; we’ve also helped several business leaders become portfolio leaders.

You can think of a decentralized business as a bunch of different Lego blocks of different shapes and sizes. Each of those blocks is completely unique and it’s run by a person who controls that that business. We allow the leaders of our businesses to run their own show and we benchmark them so they can learn best practices. To learn more about what makes a decentralized corporate structure different, watch our Introduction to Volaris video.
