(AUDIO) The First Dollar Problem: Why Intentional Leadership Development Determines Your Future

Zach Peña — Chief Executive Officer

Ethan Summers — Chief of Staff

Today, we explore why intentional leadership development is critical in the rapidly scaling data center industry, examining how to build leaders before you need them and the costly mistakes of leaving top performers to self-develop in isolation.

 

In this recording, we’ll review:

  • The cushion effect – how rapid growth masks the cost of poor leadership for far too long
  • Why your best performers are the most likely to leave without proper development
  • The difference between hiring stallions and creating the environment where they can run
  • How middle managers represent 80% of activity but receive disproportionately little development
  • The critical shift from activity-based learning to first principles thinking
  • Why leaders need real risk and downside in their decisions to truly develop
  •  

And much more.
