Stories of Scale with Jonathan Herps
CEO Playbook Ep 23: Scaling Isn’t About More Tactics, It’s About This One Shift
Scaling isn't about more tactics, it's about more clarity. It’s about giving your team a vision so clear they can act without waiting for your permission.
In this episode of Stories of Scale, Jonathan Herps shares why your team doesn’t need more direction and why they need a crystal clear destination. You’ll learn how to build a 3 Year vision that aligns your people, removes daily chaos, and puts you back in the role of strategic leader.
If you're a founder who’s still wearing all the hats, stuck in day-to-day chaos, and unsure how to move beyond the plateau, you need to hear this. Jonathan’s personal stories, client case studies, and frameworks will help you reclaim clarity, momentum, and your role as the true leader of your business.
In this episode of Stories of Scale with Jonathan Herps, you’ll discover:
- Defining success beyond revenue (01:20)
- Why scaling requires more than strategy (02:49)
- Translating vision into a “leader’s intent” your team can act on (03:45)
- The military lesson every CEO can use to keep teams aligned (05:17)
- The power of a three-year vision (06:40)
- How one company leapt from #3 to market leader by rallying around a clear intent (07:23)
Key takeaways for CEOs and business owners:
- Why “vision” isn’t enough if your team doesn’t know how to act on it.
- A three-year horizon is long enough to be transformational and short enough for your team to believe it’s possible.
- A clear “leader’s intent” keeps everyone aligned and empowered to act, even when plans change.
- Scaling a business isn’t just about strategy; it’s about clarity, leadership, and getting every person rowing in the same direction.
Scaling isn’t about chasing endless tactics but about clarity, intent, and leading your people with purpose. When your team knows exactly where they’re going, growth stops being chaotic and starts becoming unstoppable.
