The Core Problem: Outgrowing Your Current Talent

Neil Katz defines the central issue: "What got you here won't get you there." As businesses scale, the harsh reality is that the leadership team that helped you start often lacks the skills to take you to the next level. Katz explains that "when you have five or 10 employees, that same leader, in many cases, does not have the capability, skills, or background to take you to 100 employees or 1,000 employees, or from $1 million in revenue to $50 million."
