Allison Maslan says CEOs blame hiring or talent when their real problem is unclear vision and weak leadership. When founders don't communicate direction clearly, employees can't align their work to it. Fix the vision first, and your team scales.

Most CEOs think they have a scaling problem, and in most cases, they don't. And once I show you what's actually happening, you can't unsee it. When a founder comes to me and says, "My company's not growing the way it should be," the first thing I do is to stop them from looking at the obvious stuff because 9 times out of 10, the thing they think is the problem is just the symptom of something much deeper. So many CEOs come to me and say, "I can't find good people. There's no good people out there." That feels like a people problem, but what's actually happening most of the time is it's a vision problem. Your people cannot perform at the level you need them to because they can't see where the company's going. And that's not a hiring issue. That's a leadership issue. The ones that break through are the ones who stop treating the symptoms and start building the real thing. So follow me for more CEO scaling strategies for your business and your life.
