In this solo episode of the Spartan Leadership Podcast, leadership coach and entrepreneur Josh Kosnick explains why founders and CEOs often become the bottleneck in their own business growth and what it takes to break through that ceiling.

Many entrepreneurs build their companies through hustle, control, and relentless execution. Those traits create early success. But as organizations grow, the leadership skills required to scale a business change.

The leader who built the company is not always the leader who can scale it.
