How to Lead a Team Without the Hiring/Firing Boom and Bust
Knowing how to lead a team (especially when your goal is to scale to 7 figures) is so much more than just hiring people and assigning them their roles.
Whether your team is just a few people or steadily increasing, you’re going to run into situations where you wonder if this person is the right fit…or if it’s time to fire and move on.
BUT… most of my 6 and multi-6 figure clients often think they need to fire too soon.
You don’t want to carry the weight of an under-performing team member when you (and the other members) have full to-do lists.
However, our team members are usually a direct reflection of our leadership. If your member is not showing up in the way you need them to, this might not actually be their fault.
If you’re experiencing conflicts with your team members (whether that be lack of productivity, lack of results, or any other persistent issues), you first need to look at your own leadership.
Signs You Might Not Be Leading Your Team Successfully
Maybe you haven’t communicated what you need effectively.
Maybe you haven’t trained them as clearly as you thought.
Maybe they do not have the right resources or equipment to do their job the right way.
In today’s episode, I’m giving you the Pre-Correction Checklist you need to make sure you’re not the cause of a team member’s lack of performance in your company!
Remember, if you fire a team member because of a gap in your own leadership skills, you’re only going to find the same problems repeated again and again in new members until you fix that trait in your own leadership.
If you’re having problems with a team member’s under performance or lack of results, be sure to listen to this episode to make sure you’re addressing the root of the problem - and not slapping a Band-Aid on the surface of a deeper issue!
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
