Leaders, Stop Being Impressive and Start Being Useful

What if the key to growing your business isn’t strategy—but you?

In this episode of Because People Matter, Dr. Helen Fagan sits down with Alex Judd, founder of Path for Growth and host of the Path for Growth Podcast, to explore why personal growth is the foundation of sustainable business success.

Alex shares powerful insights on leadership development, including the stages every leader must navigate—from individual contributor to mentor—and why true leadership is measured by your ability to make others effective.
Together, they unpack what healthy business growth actually looks like beyond revenue, why role clarity is essential for CEOs, and how leaders can move from being impressive to being useful.

This conversation is packed with practical wisdom for entrepreneurs and leaders who want to grow themselves and their organizations at the same time.
