Stepping Into Your Leadership Shoes
“You’ve got to let go. You have to let people do things their way, because what you care about is the result of their work.”
- Shelagh Cummins
Are you looking to hire? Are you considering it? Or have you started to hire?
If so, you’re not going to want to miss this episode!
I’m going to dig deep into the details of what you need to know when stepping into a leadership role in your small business.
This includes how to approach the hiring and onboarding processes in order to find the right people for your business, how to assess employee performance using the three Cs (competence, capacity, and communication), how to set fair and effective performance objectives, what to do when a team member falls short — and how to understand what might have gone wrong.
As you build your team, your role in your business evolves by necessity. If you’re already well into hiring for your business, don’t worry — you’ll still find a lot of very valuable information here to help you build and nurture an incredible team.
