  • From Founder to Scale-Up CEO

    From Founder to Scale-Up CEO
    Jun 29 2026

    The habits that built the business can become the habits that hold it back.

    This episode explores the difficult shift from founder-led momentum to scale-up leadership. Les explains why letting go is not stepping back, it is stepping up into a different role. The founder moves from engine to architect, building decision rights, leadership rhythm and a senior team that can carry the business forward.

    For founders ready to grow beyond personal effort and build a business that can scale.

  • Why Your SLT Is Busy but Not Actually Leading

    Why Your SLT Is Busy but Not Actually Leading
    Jun 22 2026

    Busyness can look impressive, but it can also hide the absence of leadership.

    Les unpacks the difference between activity and enterprise leadership. A senior leadership team may be working hard, attending meetings and managing functions well, yet still leave the CEO joining all the dots. This episode challenges SLTs to move beyond updates and ask what the business really needs from them now.

    Essential listening for scale-up CEOs who want pace, ownership and better decisions at the top.

  • The Leadership Meeting Illusion

    The Leadership Meeting Illusion
    Jun 15 2026

    Your SLT meeting may look productive, but is it actually leading the business?

    In this episode, Les explores why many senior leadership team meetings become polished reporting sessions rather than true leadership forums. The real test is simple: what changed because you met? If decisions are not made, ownership is not clarified and the CEO still carries the business alone, the meeting needs a stronger purpose.

    A practical episode for CEOs and MDs who want their SLT meetings to create clarity, accountability and enterprise leadership.
