Scaling CS without losing control
One of our podcast listeners asked,"As my team is growing, I feel like I'm losing touch with them and our customers. Any advice?"
This question cuts right to the heart of a dilemma many of us face when scaling: How do we grow without losing the control that (we think) has made us so effective to begin with?
In this week's episode of Impact Weekly, Johan and I tackle this head-on. We're not just scratching the surface; we're drilling down into the key areas that can make or break your scaling efforts:
- Cultivating a Sustainable Culture
- Optimizing Management Metrics
- Transitioning to a Coaching Role
- And much more!

BTW: I hope you can join me for Impact Day in Stockholm, Sweden on 14-Sept.
And if you say, "that's too far to travel for a CS event, Lincoln" just remember, I'm going there all the way from Texas in the United States.
At the event I'll be giving a keynote as well as running a few workshops, but there are a lot of things going on and a ton of great people to network with, so check out the full agenda to see for yourself.
I truly believe Impact Day isn't just the best CS event in the Nordics; it's the best CS event in the world.

Trying to get customers to execute perfectly when they don't have experience, expertise, or even the desire to do so. Yet, we've designed our entire operation and organization to try to make this work. We've created a profession and discipline around this. That's insane if you think about it. I remember way back in 2012 when I was working with email marketing platforms. Customers would churn from one provider to another looking for better results. But the problem wasn't the platform.
