How to scale a team gets complicated when you realize the people who helped you get here may not be the people - or the roles - you need to get where you’re going next. Oof. That’s a hard one, my friend. Because when you’re scaling a business, these decisions aren’t just boxes on an org chart. These are real people. People you care about. People who may have been beside you through some pretty messy seasons. But you’re also the CEO, and part of your job is building the team your business needs for its next stage of growth. So, how do you know when to develop someone, redesign their role, hire new talent - or make the really difficult decision to let someone go?

We’re digging into the team management strategies that help you answer that question without leading from guilt, fear, or loyalty alone.
