The Leadership Ceiling - When the Strengths That Made You Successful Start Holding You Back (opens the original)

What happens when your organisation grows faster than your leadership capacity? In this episode, Dr Calvin Spinks and I explore why growth can expose hidden limits in leadership, communication, structure, and resilience—and how overload can turn even capable leaders into bottlenecks.
