Yesterday's playbook is useless for tomorrow's problems. Smart companies evolve their people, keep clarity around priorities, navigate uncertainty and grow.

 

The Gauntlet of Growth for sustainable growth has six parts: sharpening focus, calibrating culture, strengthening leadership, elevating talent, aligning structures, and amplifying communication. These insights are derived from hands-on work with high-growth companies that help founders and leaders scale their organizations.

 

In this episode, you will learn what it truly means to navigate change, how your role as a CEO evolves alongside your company, and the importance of aligning your actions throughout the organization to create a stronger company.

 

Jess Dewell talks with PeopleCap Advisors, Co-Founders Meg Crosby, Principal, and Howard Cleveland, Leadership Coach and Confidante, about how to lead in uncharted territory amid rapidly changing markets. They discuss what it means to be BOLD in your willingness to adapt as a founder, emphasizing the value of experimenting, failing, and learning to make confident decisions in new situations.
