What drives business growth when strategy, talent, and pressure collide? Behind every breakthrough is a series of bold decisions, painful lessons, and moments of self-awareness that force leaders to rethink how they hire, lead, and grow. What separates leaders who scale from those who stall?

According to leadership and behavioral assessment expert Jason Carroll, growth starts with a deeper understanding of human behavior. Leaders must look beyond resumes and surface-level traits to uncover the core drivers that shape performance. Jason emphasizes using self-awareness to adjust leadership impact, placing people in roles aligned with how they’re wired, and being curious rather than judgmental when conflict arises. These practices build stronger teams, drive informed decisions, and enable sustainable growth.
