In this episode of The Leaders Kit Bag, I’m exploring one of the most common – and overlooked – growth challenges in scale-ups and fast-moving organisations: leadership bottlenecks. 

As Marshall Goldsmith put it, “What got you here won’t get you there.” 

That insight rings especially true for leaders in high-growth businesses. The truth is, the biggest barrier to scaling often isn’t sales, operations or even funding – it’s the leadership capability within the organisation. 

You’ll learn: 

• Why your mindset must evolve as your company grows 
• How to move from being the “hero” to becoming the “enabler” 
• The power of autonomy, accountability and psychological safety 
• Why developing the leadership layer around you is non-negotiable 

If you’re serious about scaling your business, you can’t do it all yourself.  

You need more leaders, not just more followers – and that means letting go, building trust and investing in leadership at every level.
