Most teams think the answer to growth is simple. Add more. More markets, more products, more layers, more plays. The layer cake approach.

It almost never works.

It adds complexity, drains focus, and breaks what was already working.

In this episode, Toni Holbein and Personio's Koen Stam talk about a better path. Instead of piling on new initiatives, fix the foundation. Improve the things that already drive revenue. Tighten ICP. Narrow focus. Sell better. Enable buyers. Strengthen the ecosystem around you. Document the process so the business does not depend on a few heroes.

Do less. Execute better.
