Why Your Managers Stopped Managing with Mike Krupit (stage 4) - Ep. 426
In this candid episode, Mike Krupit, Founder and CEO of Trajectify, shares why successful teams suddenly “get dumb” during growth and what you must change to scale past it. If you’re hitting plateaus where results stall and early leaders no longer fit, you won’t want to miss it.
You will discover:
- Why growth itself forces people, processes, and expectations to evolve or the team stalls
- How to spot the markers that you’ve outgrown current roles and need new leadership capacity
- What it takes to have difficult conversations and stop rescuing instead of coaching your team.
