Learn Leadership Strategies from
Inc. 5000 founders & CEOs
Get the inside track on how leadership and culture strategies power fast-growth Inc. 5000 companies.
Check out my latest column about leadership and culture within fast-growth companies for Inc Magazine.
When you want to activate growth within your company, you don’t look to the companies “kind-of” growing or those with “potential”. You go straight to the proven track record. Companies that have consistently increased revenues. The best example of companies growing fast are the companies that are honored on the Inc 5000 list each year. These are privately-held companies with the most revenue growth over the last three years. You look at their marketing, sales, operations, leadership, and culture. You look for strategies of growth that you can adapt quickly no matter what your industry.
One of the biggest differences between fast-growth companies and their peers is how they approach leadership.
I’ve done the research. I understand fast-growth companies. And, with 10 years’ experience coaching CEOs and their executive teams, I have developed frameworks and insights to help you grow.
I’ll guide you and your team to create repeatable leadership development strategies to enable you to create growth for your company.
You don’t have to do it alone. Let’s start your journey.

What Each Level of Leadership Means
1. Anti-Leader
The Anti-Leader thrives on control, leading through fear and ego. Misguided by their false sense of leadership, they micromanage and stifle growth, creating a toxic environment where true leadership cannot flourish.
2. Transactional Leader
Focused on tasks and day-to-day operations, the Transactional Leader is driven by getting things done. Overwhelmed and reactive, their schedule is dictated by others, leaving little room for strategic thinking or development.
3. Strategic Leader
Strategic Leaders are growth-focused and navigate change with intent. They prioritize execution but often struggle to find time to develop others, leaving their leadership potential partially untapped.
Leadership Ravine –
The Leadership Ravine is a treacherous gap between focus on the WORK and developing the PEOPLE. It’s a challenging journey where leaders are frequently pulled back into old habits, struggling to break free and evolve.
4. Exceptional Leader
People-driven and committed to developing future leaders, Exceptional Leaders excel in nurturing talent. All this is good and a great place as you build a stronger company and begin to get full alignment with their executive team and beyond. However, their leadership impact is often limited by a single-source approach, lacking broader organizational influence.
5. Compound Leader
Compound Leaders transcend traditional leadership by multiplying their impact. They create other Exceptional Leaders, ensuring succession planning and driving optimal growth across the entire organization.
Which level do you spend most of your time?
Real Growth Requires the RIGHT Leadership
Let me share my most important tool for being a better leader. The 5 Levels of Leadership is like a “map,” and this proven tool is designed to help CEOs evaluate their current level of leadership and elevate their leadership effectiveness.
- STEP 1—Evaluate Your Current Leadership Level: Precisely identify your current leadership level and its impact on your organization. This step is the “where are you now” part of your journey. For example, “transactional leaders” aren’t bad but don’t have the highest impact on the organization.
- STEP 2—Select Your Ideal Level of Leadership: As you evolve as a leader, you can select the next level of leadership so you can be intentional about growing into the leader your team and organization deserve. For example, Raising the level of “exceptional leader” is usually necessary for a CEO to develop a fully aligned executive team and a strong leadership pipeline for more company growth.
- STEP 3 – Define and Implement Effective Strategies to Reach Your Ideal Leadership Level: You can research your own path to being a better leader if you want by reading and being part of group programs like YPO and EO. If you want support I’m happy to share more tools with you to help you evolve as a CEO. Or you can get my help to accelerate your growth as a CEO – Exceptional Leader (and eventually, a Compound Leader). This is also the path to company growth and creating the kind of company you don’t want to sell (but if you did, it would maximize the value).
The 5 Levels of Leadership is your roadmap to becoming a better and more intentional leader. Discover where you are, understand where you need to go, and confidently navigate your path to leadership excellence. Begin your transformation with us today.
