About this episode

This episode discusses the leadership and human dynamics necessary for sustaining organizational growth.

Scaling an organization requires far more than strategy or growth. It demands leadership and human dynamics that can support change. In this episode, Maureen Metcalf and Carla Morelli explore why leaders often become the ceiling on organizational scale and how trust and operational systems determine whether growth strengthens or breaks an organization.
