What Unicorn helps with
Unicorn Labs helps companies whose growth has moved faster than their leadership. It works on manager skills, team alignment, and the systems that let a founder step back from every decision.
- Founders who are the bottleneck for every decision
- Promoting top individual contributors into first-time managers
- Feedback, delegation and hard conversations
- Strategy that does not reach front-line teams
- Repairing low trust and conflict on leadership teams
- Building decision frameworks, meeting cadences and accountability systems
- Aligning teams around a shared vision
Who Unicorn works with
Clients are scaling companies of 50 to 300 people. They include CEOs and founders who carry every decision, HR and people leaders who need training that sticks, and new managers who were promoted from individual roles. Industries include tech, public sector, manufacturing, financial services and multi-unit operations.
How Unicorn works
It works as both a diagnostic and an implementation roadmap. Programs are cohort-based and facilitator-led, and each engagement tracks outcomes. Work is layered across leaders, teams and operating systems. Many engagements start with a single workshop or offsite. The Founder Operating System covers decision frameworks, meeting cadences, leadership layers and accountability systems.
Background and qualifications
Unicorn Labs builds leadership, team alignment and operating systems for high-growth companies. It has worked with more than 100 growth companies. One case involved a siloed leadership team with low trust. The firm ran 3 cohorts of 20 leaders over 6 months, with DISC assessments, group training, executive coaching and strategic offsites. Fahd Alhattab leads keynotes for the firm, and the Six Levels book sets out its philosophy.
