Stop Relying on Superheroes: Build a Company That Scales
from Teamwork - A Better Way · host Spencer Horn and Christian Napier
Most leaders think their biggest problem is hiring the right people. Bruce McLeod says the real problem is what happens after they arrive — and what quietly destroys them once they do.In this episode, Bruce shares the framework he developed after more than a decade watching rapid growth hollow out companies from the inside: burning out top talent, rewarding the wrong behaviors, and leaving entire teams operating without a shared understanding of what winning even looks like. If your company depends on one or two people to hold everything together, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership, structure, and what it actually means to build something that lasts.TranscriptOwner, Company ConnectionsAuthor, The Healthy Company FrameworkConnect with me on LinkedIn
