If you’re scaling your business, chances are the real bottleneck isn’t strategy—it’s misalignment.
In this episode of the Business Roundtable Podcast, host David W. Carr sits down with Ron Higgs, Fractional COO and trusted advisor to founder-led businesses navigating rapid growth. With a background in aerospace engineering, military leadership, and C-suite roles, Ron brings a rare ability to diagnose operational dysfunction and rebuild trust across teams.
Together, Ron and David explore the often overlooked gap between visionary leadership and practical execution, where most companies stall out or lose momentum.
This conversation cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of leadership: trust, systems, and aligned people.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why most leadership teams talk at each other, not with each other
- How to identify (and fix) your leadership blind spots
- The cost of misalignment in founder-led companies
- The traits of high-trust, execution-ready teams
- Why leadership development is a business necessity, not a luxury
- How a Fractional COO complements—not competes with—other leadership experts
Ron and David also discuss how collaborative coaching creates lasting transformation and why great companies are built by leaders who are willing to be challenged.
If you’re leading a company, building a team, or preparing to scale, this episode is your blueprint.
