Anna Zarudzka on the Messy Growth podcast – How Boldare became a tech leader

One thing Anna said really stood out:

“The moment you think you’re at the top – you’re already done.”

This quote perfectly captures the philosophy that Anna, and the entire Boldare team, follow. The discussion delved into the importance of continuous growth, making bold decisions, and how a company can thrive in a world filled with uncertainty and change.

During the conversation, Anna explored Boldare’s approach to leadership, particularly the concept of building a company without traditional hierarchy, something that Boldare practices through Holacracy. She explained how this model fosters greater autonomy and responsibility within the company, allowing teams to act more dynamically and efficiently.

Anna also addressed why the idea of “being at the top” is a flawed goal. For her, true success lies not in reaching a final destination but in the continuous evolution of a company and its people. She shared her insights on running a services business by choice, not by default, and how Boldare’s decision to embrace this path has shaped the company’s unique culture and approach to client relationships.

Reflecting on her 17 years of experience in building Boldare, Anna offered valuable lessons about leadership. She explained that leadership is not just about making the right decisions but also about learning from mistakes, adapting to change, and guiding teams through uncertainty.

The conversation sheds new light on what true success and leadership mean. It’s clear that growth is not about reaching the top – it’s about continuous evolution, adaptability, and learning from every step of the journey.
