Steve Thornton, Managing Partner at Apex Management, doesn’t just coach leaders—he builds leadership systems. In this episode, Steve walks through what most leaders get wrong and how to fix it. He explains why high performers often make poor leaders and what it takes to shift from doing to directing.

Steve also shares why companies stall out when their leadership bench isn’t deep and how to grow future leaders without adding complexity. Drawing from his work with mid-market firms, Steve gives actionable strategies to scale leadership across the organization.

If you're a founder, executive, or team lead trying to escape the burnout loop, this conversation gives you a roadmap. No fluff—just frameworks that drive results.
