Stories of Scale with Jonathan Herps
CEO Playbook Ep10: The Leadership Framework That Solves People Problems and Scales Performance
If your company is hitting a growth ceiling, it’s probably not your strategy. It’s more than likely your team.
Maybe you’ve outgrown certain players. Maybe your systems aren’t giving you the clarity to lead decisively. Either way, it’s costing you.
In this episode, Jonathan Herps reveals the same framework he’s used to coach CEOs across six countries helping them turn underperformance into momentum, and chaos into clarity.
Whether you're leading 10 or 900 people, this is the structure smart leaders rely on to scale without the stress.
In this episode of Stories of Scale with Jonathan Herps, you’ll discover:
- Designing performance systems that motivate the right activity and bridge the gap between effort and results (01:20)
- How to assess team performance with clarity and spot hidden engagement issues before they cost you (02:48)
- Seven powerful questions every CEO should ask before deciding whether to coach, redeploy, or let someone go (06:29)
- How a simple quarterly rhythm can transform company culture and unlock award-winning performance (10:33)
Key takeaways for CEOs and business owners:
- Structure beats guessing. You don’t have to rely on gut feel to evaluate your team. Use objective tools to lead with clarity, not confusion.
- Leadership is about rhythm. Quarterly check-ins, not annual reviews, drive momentum, accountability, and real connection.
- A-players crave clarity. They want to know how they’re doing and what success looks like. Give them a scoreboard they can win at.
- The right person, the wrong seat. Not every team issue is a firing problem. Sometimes it’s a redeployment opportunity.
- No drama, no doubt. The best leaders don’t tolerate internal drama. They assess, act and move on because the cost of indecision is too high.
This episode is a must-listen for any founder, CEO, or business owner who wants to lead with purpose, scale with confidence, and build a team that drives results.
Listen in now. Your next leadership breakthrough could be just one framework away.
