What breaks first when scaling

Leadership Development
Along with choosing the right people comes the need for building the right systems to operate efficiently during rapid growth and change.
What breaks first when scaling

TWO things are usually the first to break when an organization is scaling:
▪️ People
▪️ Operational Systems

It becomes increasingly essential as you scale to have the right people on your bench who know how to manage your success, maintain operations, and anticipate how to build upon it. And with choosing the right people comes the need for building the right systems, which often break when your organization isn’t set up to operate efficiently during rapid growth and change.

Scaling requires that you’re training and retraining staff, up-leveling and building systems, and even occasionally hiring above your leadership to match the pace of the organization itself. These steps ensure your team is not only successful today but that you’re guaranteeing the longevity of that success and the future of your organization.

What challenges have you encountered? What systems are missing and holding you back? What have you found to be keys to growth? Let’s workshop them in the comments below!
