The Who Problem Every Growth CEO 

Eventually Hits

Every growth CEO eventually hits the same wall: the business outgrows what one person can drive by force, and people become the biggest lever you have. 


Haysam Sakar hit that wall at Action Solar, and had to learn, the hard way, that loyalty and fit are not the same thing. It cost him time, energy, and a few painful conversations he waited too long to have. 


I've included a few clips from our conversation, the full interview, and the Action Solar case study below so you can go as deep as you want.
