The Financial Times shared a letter from Sam Gilpin, Managing Director at YSC Consulting, about a key business trend of recent years: Blitzscaling, or the tendency of founder-CEOs to struggle with driving sustained profit following periods of sensational growth. Sam writes: “While innovation and buzz-generation rely on charismatic and bold leadership, ensuring sustainable profitmaking requires something additional: the leader’s ability to intentionally redesign an organization, its culture and its leadership, and to adapt their own style accordingly.”
