    Episode 2 - Why Managing People Stops Working as You Scale | Tammy Barton - Founder of MyBudget

    In Episode 2 of The Ultimate Leader’s Edge, I sit down with Tammy Barton, founder of MyBudget, to explore what leadership really requires when a business grows beyond its founder. Tammy’s journey began at 22 with a simple desire to help people improve their financial wellbeing. Today, she leads a team of 300 across multiple countries. What makes this conversation powerful is not just the scale, but how intentionally Tammy has evolved her leadership style along the way. Early on, Tammy did what many founders do. She managed people through systems, processes, and KPIs. Over time, she realised that management alone does not scale. Leadership does. The turning point came when she shifted from controlling outcomes to creating clarity around purpose, values, and expectations.
