What is the Scaling Vision Without Losing Culture course about?

Growth creates distance. Leaders promote, systems scale, and suddenly the clarity of the early days fades. Meetings feel longer. Decisions stall. The culture that attracted top talent starts to thin. You're not building slower , you're leading harder for less return. This isn't a failure of effort. It's a failure of transmission: your vision isn't adapting to the scale you've created.
