Scaling a business isn't a technology problem - it's a leadership problem. In this episode of Disrupt & Innovate, Lisa L. Levy sits down with Kurt Uhlir, a globally recognized marketer and operator with a massive track record in scaling organizations, to debunk the myths surrounding high-growth business. Kurt explains why most leaders fail when they try to solve scaling challenges with more tools or marketing technology, rather than focusing on team alignment and servant leadership. We dive into what it truly means to lead by serving, the importance of absolute outcome clarity, and why curiosity is the most undervalued skill in the C-suite. From navigating the complexities of divestiture and high-stakes growth to understanding the real human elements of the customer journey, Kurt shares battle-tested insights on how to build a business that actually delivers on its promises. If you’ve ever felt like your growth is creating more chaos than value, this conversation will help you refocus on the outcomes that matter and the leadership mindset required to reach them.
