Why Most Teams Break During Growth (And How Values-Driven Leadership Doesn’t)
Manage episode 497195419 series 3386506
When your team starts to grow, things shift — and not always in the way you expect. Bottlenecks show up where trust should be. Communication breaks down just when clarity matters most. If you're leading a digital agency that's scaling fast, the pressure isn’t just in performance — it’s in holding the culture together while everything accelerates.
This week, I’m joined by Brittany Hansen — a tech entrepreneur, co-founder of a bootstrapped SaaS company built without venture capital. Her platform solves for one of the biggest blind spots in business today: how to deliver the right message in the right way to a global, multilingual, multicultural audience.
We unpack the systems she uses to build trust, the decision to scale without outside capital, and how values-driven leadership creates teams that don’t just perform — they stay aligned under pressure. If you’ve ever wondered how to scale your team without losing your voice, your mission, or your momentum… this one’s for you.
