Sometimes the CEO Must Step Into the Fire | The Scaling CEO Podcast

In this episode, I talk with Andy Vaughn, president and CEO of Alliant International University, about leading through pressure, regulation, and organizational change. Andy shares how he helped navigate major regulatory threats, why CEOs sometimes need to personally step into difficult situations, and how relationship-building helped shape critical outcomes for his institution. We also discuss employee engagement, leadership communication, higher education, AI in organizations, and what it really takes to lead during uncertainty.
