Rajesh Nagjee joins Stacey Caster and Tracy-Ann Palmer on the Leadership Moments Podcast to unpack a challenge most CEOs quietly face: as the business scales, leadership capacity struggles to keep up.

Drawing from his work as a CEO mentor and “business physicist,” Rajesh explains the concept of a velocity crisis, the mismatch between the speed of the business and the internal capability of the leader. He breaks down why delegation fails, why leadership teams lose effectiveness, and how founders unintentionally become the bottleneck.

This episode is a practical, grounded conversation on leadership, energy, decision-making, and systems, designed for founders and CEOs who want to scale without losing freedom, clarity, or control.
