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. He explains the concept of adopting a heroic leadership style and how this approach can hinder progress. Leaders should be careful not to create a culture of dependency instead of fostering true leadership and growth.

By doing so, leaders can create a more collaborative and productive workplace culture that benefits everyone involved.
