Andrew Golkin shares his experience entering the industry, helping his family start an emergency services division from the ground up for their existing restoration company. Going from two guys in a van to building a multi-million dollar organization. He shares many of the lessons learned the hard way as they continue to build their team.   

Andrew shares his thoughts on building and hiring for the company that you want to be, not just what you are. Seeing the bigger picture for your organization as well as for your team members. This effort includes hiring people for the role that you want them to grow into, rather than just for an immediate need.    

As the team grows, so does the importance of accountability. Andrew discusses building an accountability chart based upon vision, so that you team hiring and developing are in alignment with your growth objectives. We also discuss how many people outside of the industry don't understand what restoration professionals do and are capable of. Unfortunately, this also applies to many people in positions of leadership in our industry, as turnover continues to be high in many companies.   

Andrew discusses many of the lessons learned while growing as a person in a position of leadership on this episode of Benchmarks of Growth. This is part 6 of 6 from The DYOJO Podcast.
