As businesses grow, the things that once worked well for them will inevitably stop working — especially once an organization grows to 300 people or more. For our 100th episode of the Path for Growth podcast, we talk through the most common mistakes leaders make when they hit the 300-person mark. We also discuss 7 communication rhythms that can help your business navigate growth more smoothly and explain why it’s so important to develop leaders who lead leaders instead of followers.
