Scale deceives.
Barry Mainz, CEO of Forescout Technologies Inc., reveals how leaders unknowingly become responsible for massive risks they never personally approved.
As your organization grows, leadership doesn’t just get harder, the real issues become harder to see.
More effort stops producing better outcomes.
And more hustle just starts masking risk.
Barry’s work shows something unsettling:
even elite tech leaders are often blind to 30–50% of the devices actually connected to their networks inside their own organizations.
But that’s not a technology failure; it’s a leadership one.
In our conversation, you’ll discover:
- The Hidden Effort Tipping Point
- The Great Leadership Management Flip
- The Habit That Sabotages Scale
- Why Hustle Is A Warning
- The Dangerous Illusion Of Control
If you spend all your time working in the business, you’ll may miss the off-radar decisions forming around you...until they surface as a crisis.
A leadership question to consider:
Is the leader who knows every detail actually a pro… or just a bottleneck in disguise?
