Quick takeaways
- Replacing a leader is necessary when they have been outgrown and are no longer the right fit, emotionally engaged, or contributing effectively.
- Scaling a company requires hiring executives who have experience in navigating the challenges of growth and who align with the company's current needs and stage.
Deep dives
Recognizing the need for a leadership change
One of the main reasons for replacing an existing leader is the realization that they have been outgrown. This realization occurs when you start questioning whether that person is the right fit, whether they are emotionally engaged, and whether their ideas and contributions are outweighing the influx of new ideas. Additionally, if an executive lacks the ability to expand and grow their role, or if personal issues are impacting their performance, it may be time for a change.
