Scale-Up Leadership
The Leadership Scaling Challenge
As companies grow, leadership capabilities that worked in earlier stages often become limiting factors. You may be experiencing:
Decision Bottlenecks
Everything flowing through the founder/CEO
Management Gaps
Leaders struggling with larger teams and complexity
Execution Delays
Strategic initiatives stalling due to capacity constraints
Coordination Challenges
Silos forming between growing departments
Recruitment Difficulties
Struggling to attract and retain the right talent
These challenges typically emerge as companies pass $5M in revenue, becoming critical barriers between $10-50M when founder-led approaches no longer support scale.
Cost of Inaction: Companies that fail to develop scaled leadership capabilities typically see growth slow by 30-50% while team turnover increases by 25-40%, creating a destructive cycle.
