Knowing When to Start Over: How Scott Reid Leads Change and Growth

Sometimes, doing what’s worked before isn’t enough to keep winning. In Episode 8 of Go Beyond the Connection, Scott Reid, National Vice President of Technology Strategy and Sales at Radiology Partners, shares powerful insights about recognizing when it’s time to start fresh—and how to guide teams through change.

Knowing when to start over is a critical leadership skill, especially in fast-moving industries where standing still means falling behind. Scott shows that the courage to reset can unlock major breakthroughs in team performance, technology adoption, and operational growth.

Scott’s career blends athletic discipline with business leadership. From his days on championship-winning football teams to leading high-performing technology and sales organizations, one principle remains constant: trust the team, trust the process—but always be willing to reevaluate and restart when needed.

“You’ll know it’s time to start over when results decline and competitors outperform you. We often think it’s safe to do the same thing repeatedly because it worked before. But that won’t enable you to achieve something truly satisfying.” – Scott Reid
