      Jeff Baldassari

      After more than two decades in the CEO seat, Jeff Baldassari has pinpointed a recurring dilemma in today’s business world: hardworking teams struggling to grow because of broken systems, not lack of effort.

      By News Desk

      On Friday, June 6 at 8:00 am, Baldassari will tackle this challenge head-on at the Friday Coffee Meetup in Pasadena with a presentation titled “Scaling Roadblocks: Identifying and Overcoming the Top Three.”

      As the Founder and CEO of The Competitive Edge Group, Baldassari brings deep experience in leading companies through turnarounds and building scalable systems that produce real-world results. His talk will zero in on three core issues he sees repeatedly hampering business growth: The Accountability Abyss, Reactive Overload, and Surface-Level Fixes.

      These roadblocks, Baldassari says, are the hidden culprits behind stagnant progress—even in high-performing teams. Attendees can expect a practical, step-by-step approach to designing systems that do more than just maintain order—they fuel real, sustainable growth.

      “If you’ve ever wondered why your business isn’t growing as fast as your team is working, this session will provide answers—and a roadmap forward,” organizers said.

      The event is free and open to the public, making it a must-attend for entrepreneurs, managers, and growth-focused professionals looking to break out of the operational quicksand.
