If your team is frustrated, your culture is drifting, and change feels exhausting, this conversation will reset your leadership.

In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Scott Burgmeyer, Founder and CEO of BecomeMore Group, who shares how he helps 300–500-employee organizations grow through leadership development, strategy, and change management. He’s the author of Chief Optimization Officer (2020) and Think: The Road Less Traveled (May 2025), and he co-hosts the Leadership Line podcast, released weekly. Scott explains how authentic leadership, truth-telling, and doing improvement with people (not to them) can reduce turnover, strengthen culture, and create measurable business impact.

Key Takeaways:

→ Regulatory disruption can be ignored, resisted, or accepted, but the winners redesign the org and equip leaders for the new reality.

→ Scaling works best when repeatable systems are built without neglecting the human side that drives adoption and retention.

→ Authentic leadership is relational, not social.

→ Leaders often “know” the issues but need an outside voice to cut through the sugarcoating and call out what’s really happening.

→ You can’t lead today’s workforce with yesterday’s assumptions. Frustration often stems from resisting reality rather than adapting your leadership approach.

Scott Burgmeyer is the Founder and CEO of BecomeMore Group, a company that reflects his journey of growth and transformation. His early career followed a traditional path, with successful roles in corporate environments. However, after achieving a significant corporate opportunity, Scott realized his comfort zone had shrunk, while the organization seemed content with his performance. Seeking more, he founded Creative Solutions Group in 2010, driven by relentless curiosity and a desire for growth.

In 2018, Scott focused his efforts full-time on Creative Solutions Group and shortly thereafter co-authored his first of four books. The company continued to expand, culminating in a corporate acquisition with his partner Tammy in 2021 and the release of their fifth book. In 2023, Scott and Tammy formalized their merger, rebranding as BecomeMore Group to reflect their commitment to continuous personal and professional growth.
