Many companies experience a hyper-growth stage while you face the disarray of leading a rapidly growing team. Do you wonder if your leadership style is effective or if there’s a better approach you can use to unlock your team’s true potential?
Leadership expert Dave McKeown is well-versed on the challenges of overcoming the chaos of fast growth.
