The Miles Group (TMG) releases new episode of C-Suite Intelligence podcast about how not to let your business outgrow you

NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- "One of the greatest challenges for founders and executives in high-growth, hyper-scaling startups is the ability to outgrow the company every year," says Stephen Miles, Founder and CEO of The Miles Group/TMG. "Most founders and executives are so deeply immersed in the business model and their products…that they forget about themselves…their own personal growth as a leader."

TMG's C-Suite Intelligence podcast, episode 18, "It's What You Learn After You Know It All: How Founders and High-Growth Executives Can Scale Their Own Leadership and Stay Ahead of Their Company's Growth" airs today on all major podcast platforms.

"The research is clear that when a founder can effectively scale with the company, shareholder returns tend to be high," says Miles. Financial performance data from more than 2,000 public companies show that founder-CEOs outperform non-founder CEOs, particularly in the first few years. However, studies suggest that at a certain point, the founder-CEO could start to detract from company value.

"Everybody talks about business growth or the exponential growth of an organization, but personal growth is just as important," says Taylor Griffin, Chief Operating Officer of TMG. "There has to be commitment and focus to it…it's an ongoing and continuous activity...and it's not just for yourself, it's also in the context of the organization and the teams you lead."

"This is a higher order of leadership that people often underestimate," says Griffin.

When coaching high-performing leaders, Miles and Griffin say the last mile is the hardest. "You can be reasonably high performing and get to 90, but it's the last 10 that is transformational for you personally and for your company," says Miles. "If you look at the highest performing sports personalities around the world, and you look to their right, they have a coach."

"It's What You Learn After You Know It All" is out now on Apple, Google, and Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes air every other Tuesday.
