This is a case about the dilemmas of Vabo and Amanda regarding the development of a strong team with effective leaders in a company that has been growing exponentially. Given a new scale of operation, a new team size, and the challenges of maintaining the culture and continued grow,it was necessary to re-evaluate the role of key leaders, their interdependencies, and their impacts on shaping the future leaders. The case is recommended for disciplines of Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Organizational Culture in undergraduate and graduate courses in Business Administration. It is expected that at the end of the discussion the participants will be able to: (a) become familiar with the interdependence between values, beliefs, dreams, life history, and behaviors of the leader; (b) identify different leadership styles, observing their characteristics, idiosyncrasies, and vulnerabilities; (c) realize the different leadership needs at each stage of business development, as well as the potential consequences of each leadership style on the company’s growth, people, and culture; (d) expand their self-knowledge and this way strengthen their choices, career, and leadership.
