In this webinar hosted by the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO), Strategic Talent Partners Principal Todd Johnson explores how ESOP companies can align their people strategy with the realities of growth.
As employee-owned companies scale, added complexity can quickly reshape what the business needs from its leaders, teams, and organizational structure. Todd shares how ESOP leaders can anticipate those shifts, clarify evolving accountabilities, evaluate leadership readiness, and identify the roles and capabilities needed to support sustainable growth while preserving a strong ownership culture.
Key Points:
- Understand how growth impacts leadership structure, decision-making, and complexity.
- Learn when roles and responsibilities must evolve to support the next stage.
- Assess readiness across skills, ESOP leadership qualities, and cultural alignment.
- Recognize common scaling challenges related to capacity, accountability, and middle management.
- Build a proactive talent strategy that connects hiring and development to long-term business goals.
For ESOP leaders looking to stay ahead of growth, this session offers a clear framework for making thoughtful people decisions before capacity, structure, or leadership gaps begin to slow progress.
