Recently, our fearless leader, E78 Founder and CEO John S. had the chance to sit down with Gene Hammett , host of the Growth Think Tank podcast to discuss key leadership lessons from his career and advice for other leaders on how to accelerate growth.    The conversation touched on John’s #PrivateEquity industry experience early in his career, how opportunity in the market led him to found E78, how the company has rapidly grown through #acquisitions, and the importance of clear communication up and down the chain of command.    “If there’s anything that could destroy good will and culture, it’s lack of communication within an organization,” John said. “Growth can create chaos. We have the privilege, as leaders, to understand what the plans are, what the priorities are, what we’re focused on. But if we’re not cascading those messages down throughout the organization, that chaos can create fear, uncertainty, and doubt.”    To hear more about E78’s growth, culture, and other important lessons from the trenches, listen at the link below!   https://lnkd.in/ePZhUrha #E78Life #Leadership #MandA #CEO
