“Why change my leadership style? It got us to this point, where we’ve established a real beachhead in our market.”
These are the famous last words of many an entrepreneur. Failing to realize that critical transition points in the growth of an enterprise require leaders to shift emphasis, they blindly stick with what has been working up to that point. The company stalls. Confusion grows among key team members, investors, customers and suppliers. And, ultimately, the failure to understand the demands of the transition lead to the failure of the company itself.
