It’s a hidden cost of success—whether you’re pushing past $5M or eclipsing 9 figures, leadership practices that worked in the early stages can start to show cracks. Teams work harder than ever, but progress feels slower. Culture feels stretched. Growth becomes harder to sustain.
What I’ve witnessed is that the companies that break through these barriers don’t just build better systems—they build better leaders.
The impact is profound:
Teams innovate without constant direction.
Decisions happen faster, with less friction.
Growth becomes energizing, not exhausting.
Every time I think about this, I’m reminded of how growth isn’t just about what leaders do, but who they become in the process.
Wishing you a successful (and effortless) 2025,
