In the first episode of the Strategy Ladder podcast, Brian and Austin sit down to talk about the importance of a growth mindset and how it radically shapes the trajectory of a business. Founders often exhibit irrational behaviors, particularly in hiring, which stalls business growth. Hiring alone doesn’t solve deep-rooted business problems and emotional attachments to employees complicate matters even more. Founders may feel they’re investing in people, but are they investing in the right focus?
Our advisors explore how C players in a team steals momentum from the A players, and why **stagnation in business growth often stems from getting too stuck in set approaches. Leadership requires making tough decisions, especially when it comes to fostering a thriving environment for a founder’s team. Brian and Austin stress that challenging relationships are essential for both personal and business growth. They give a no-bars-held take on the need for decisive leadership and the willingness to step outside of one’s comfort zone.
The episode also covers exit strategies, pointing out that many founders don’t have a clear plan for their business's future. It again stresses the importance of a growth mindset, the resource that allows leaders to continuously question, adapt, and make tough choices to roadmap their way to long-term success.
