Ever feel like your org is sprinting toward growth... but nobody packed the map? 📈

Rosie is joined by Howard Cleveland and Meg Crosby, co-founders of PeopleCap Advisors and co-authors of “Running the Gauntlet,” to unpack the real (and often messy) dynamics of leading through change. With decades of experience helping high-growth companies, they reveal the six imperatives every leader needs to scale effectively and stay human in the process.

From the power of context to why process is really just trust in disguise, and how to tell when someone just isn’t a fit for the next leg of the journey, this conversation is packed with sharp insights, personal stories, and practical takeaways you’ll actually want to use.

Whether you're leading a 5-person startup or a 100-year-old org, you’ll leave this episode feeling seen, equipped, and ready to lead with clarity.
