Over time, that structure can reduce agility.
Organizations that scale effectively focus on introducing capability without unnecessary overhead or structural bloat.

When leaders can’t confidently predict follow-through, strategy & trust erodes. Reliability is infrastructure.

A hammer can pound in a screw – it just wrecks it.
Alignment creates leverage.
