Your Organization Will Only Grow as Fast as Its Leaders. So How Do You Grow Them on Purpose?
An organization cannot grow faster than its leaders grow. When growth stalls, the constraint is rarely the strategy or the market — it is the capacity of the people being asked to lead. Strong leadership development dramatically improves performance, but only when it happens ahead of the growth rather than during it. Developing leaders means more than handing them additional work; it means giving them real authority to make decisions and own outcomes, using a structure like the 10-80-10 rule to stay involved at the start and finish while releasing the middle. Because growth returns teams to conflict, psychological safety becomes essential — people only stretch when it is safe to make the mistakes that stretching requires. The highest return comes from developing deeply the few leaders who go on to develop others.
