Leadership at Carly — Growing Together

At Carly, leadership isn’t something we import — it’s something we practice and grow.

Leadership grown from values

While fresh perspectives from external talent are valuable, we believe the strongest leadership grows through shared experiences and values inside our teams.

We don’t promote based on years alone, and we don’t create leadership roles just to reward seniority. Instead, we ask: Will they help us build a company that’s safe, excellent, and sustainable at scale? Does this support their personal growth as well?

When the answer is yes, we invest deeply. Our leads go through a multi-month onboarding experience — not a crash course, but a thoughtful development journey. It’s designed not just to build skills, but to shape a mindset of safety, clarity, and excellence. Leaders learn how to navigate uncertainty with confidence, make better decisions, and guide their teams toward meaningful and reliable goals.

Empowering leaders to empower teams

We also give them the tools to grow others. At Carly, leadership isn’t a solo act — it’s about creating a ripple effect. Just like branches of a tree, our leads are connected across all levels, reaching out to their teams, enabling ownership, and supporting others in their growth journeys. Our goal is not to centralize power, but to empower ownership, support the growth journey of others, and create a space where people feel safe to learn and progress.

This is why we’ve built a lead library — a rich, evolving resource full of insights on everything from strategy and finance to communication and culture. We provide coaching, internal workshops, and even budget for external training, tailored to each individual’s needs and learning style. Role expectations are co-shaped by leads and their teams, and development plans are designed with personal motivation in mind.

Leadership Without EGO

Good leaders at Carly don’t stand still. They move forward — with curiosity, resilience, and care. They don’t hide from tough decisions or setbacks. They take ownership, embrace feedback, and keep growing — both themselves and those around them.

And perhaps most importantly, they do it all without placing themselves above others. Leadership at Carly is not about hierarchy or superiority. It’s about contribution, connection, and showing up as humans first. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses — and that’s not only accepted, but embraced.

We’re proud of the leaders who’ve shaped this culture from within — and even prouder to keep growing more.
