As an experienced CEO strategist, LaKeysha lends her expertise to this rich discussion, helping us uncover how the urge to control can be both a fortress and a cage for company leaders. We venture into the psychological roots of control, debating the implications of fear and identity entanglement in one's business. Plus, we don't shy away from the contentious debate over HR's tight grip on sensitive matters versus the liberation necessary for scaling operations.
