We all know that finding the right people to join your team is no easy task. Hiring for success involves crucial decisions that will significantly impact your business success.

Prioritizing Performance: Shifting Focus from Size to Results in Team Growth

Many business owners believe that a larger team is a sign of success. And while I am all about celebrating as you expand your team - I believe the focus of team growth should be less about how large your team is and more about how well they perform.

Because the size of your team doesn’t matter if you’re not getting results.

In fact, a small, well-aligned, and motivated team can outperform a larger, less cohesive team.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The importance of prioritizing team performance over size.
• The benefits of small teams, such as better collaboration, communication, agility, and autonomy.
• How a high-performing team, regardless of its size, can deliver outstanding results.
• The role of scalability and sustainability in team growth and business success.

Decision fatigue is a real thing… one I’m sure we’ve all experienced. Being able to identify when this is happening is key to getting in front of it.

In fact, recently I faced this as multiple life events, business projects, team and client scenarios all compounded, demanding my attention and requiring decisions from me. 

The more decisions I made, the more difficult the next decisions became, and eventually I had a backlog that was holding up my team, that was draining my mental energy, and I was feeling stressed.

It's not the first time I faced decision fatigue, so I recognize those signs. And if you're feeling stressed, unproductive, and impulsive, then decision fatigue may be at play for you.

• The importance of identifying when you’re feeling decision fatigue
• 7 decision fatigue solutions
• Examples of how I used these solutions at a recent photo shoot

Have you ever been driving somewhere while engrossed in a conversation only to realize too late that you missed a crucial turn? And now your arrival time is significantly delayed?

This happens in business too.

Your driving destination represents your business goals and the engrossed conversation (the one that made you miss your turn) are all the various distractions and day-to-day demands of running your business.

Just as a conversation can distract you from your drive, a lack of focused thinking time can lead to delayed progress, missed milestones, or even veering away from intended business objectives.

• The importance of thinking time in your business
• The most common reasons business owners fail to incorporate thinking time
• 5 Strategies to help you get that crucial thinking time
• What to actually think about

When you first begin working with a new team member, you don’t automatically trust them. You may have confidence in their ability based on what they’ve told you they can do, but that’s not the same as trust.

So how do you grow to trust them?

It’s quite simple - you begin by delegating. 

It’s similar to falling in love. You don’t go on a date once you start to fall in love. You go on a date to fall in love.

It’s important to build trust over time with an effective delegation plan with each new team member.

And I’ll show you how…

• How NOT to delegate and why it’s crucial to understanding how to build trust effectively
• How failure plays a part in delegation
• The difference between trust and confidence
• How to set realistic expectations when delegating
