Topic: The Modern Scaleup Leader: A New Model for Leadership Growth
Guest: Cherry Rose Tan – Co-Creator & Executive Education Lead at Schulich Venture Academy
Host: Jeff Waldman – Founder & HR Tech Evangelist at ScaleHR & SocialHRCamp
Episode Overview:
Scaling a company is one thing. Scaling its leaders is another.
In Part 2 of our three-part series with Schulich Venture Academy, we explore why the skills that make someone successful in a startup don't always translate to success in a scaleup, and what modern leadership looks like in today's rapidly evolving business environment.
Cherry Rose Tan shares practical insights on:
👉 The essential skills every modern scaleup leader needs, regardless of function
👉 Why traditional leadership development often falls short
👉 How experiential learning, cross-functional exposure, and peer learning prepare leaders for growth
👉 How Schulich Venture Academy is redefining leadership development for Canada's startup and scaleup ecosystem
Whether you're a founder, HR leader, or functional leader, this episode offers practical ideas for leading through growth and change.
