The knowledge layer has been automated. What remains is judgment — and almost no organization is developing it. The World Economic Forum has surveyed over 1,000 global employers every year since 2016. Every year, critical thinking and problem-solving top the list of skills employers need most — and find most lacking. AI hasn't closed that gap; in a workforce never developed to think in ambiguous situations, it widens it.

There are two kinds of chaos inside a growing company. Only one is on your side. Every founder has a story about the season that almost killed them. The team falling apart. The revenue stalling. The feeling that something is fundamentally wrong with the company, the model, maybe even with them. Some of that chaos is normal, even necessary. But much of it isn't.

When growth stalls, teams fracture, and execution starts slipping, the warning signs are usually there long before the crisis becomes impossible to ignore. The problem is that most leaders don't know how to read them. In Signals: Common Marketing Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them, marketing executive Angela Troccoli pulls back the curtain on the dysfunctions that derail companies—from startups racing to scale to established organizations navigating transformation, mergers, and expansion.
