Different Phases of a CEO's Growth
CEOs experience varying levels of effectiveness and enjoyment throughout different phases of organizational growth. In the initial stage of 2 to 20 employees, the focus is on customer development and direct involvement with product usage, which may lead to a self-assessment of average performance. In the scale-up phase of 20 to 200 employees, leaders often find themselves in their element, excelling in their roles. As organizations grow to 200 to 2000 employees, capabilities may start to wane, resulting in a drop in self-evaluation. Finally, in the expansion beyond 2000 employees, many CEOs struggle and become disengaged, suggesting a common trend where personal strengths and enjoyment shift with company size, leading to differences in performance across these stages.
