ABOUT THIS EPISODE
How do you grow 37% in a tough market without letting culture, trust or performance slip?
Chris Pearce is Managing Director of Greenpark, the global digital content agency. He’s been running the business for the past 18 months, leading a team of 250 people across six countries during a period of rapid growth.
In this episode, Chris shares how he:
- Defines high performance using the trust equation - credibility, reliability and intimacy
- Recognises that leaders cast a shadow - and that people copy what you do, not what you say
- Knows that impact intended and impact felt are rarely the same
- Uses multi-channel repetition to keep values front of mind across a remote, global team
- Resists panic hiring during rapid growth, even when teams are stretched and momentum is high
- Invests heavily in operational rigour, recognising that growth can easily mask deeper problems
Chris offers a grounded perspective on scaling at pace - and on why humility and trust matter most when momentum is high.
