As a company founder you have A LOT on your plate. So much,  that it is often overwhelming so you scramble to delegate the things you don’t like to do as quickly as possible.

At the top of the delegation list is offloading hiring. Today I'm going to challenge you to own your people function for as long as possible because it is so critical to your success!.

Last week our guest, Steve Newcomb, exposed his key principles for building successful companies. The most important element in building a successful company is … the foundation.

“Do the big things right and then everything becomes exponentially easier”. This means doing the hard things first because if the foundation isn't right, everything else will be more difficult.

Getting really good at the things you hate… recruiting, interviewing & hiring, translates into onboarding the strongest people early and builds personal credibility in you as a leader.

Today we’re going to discuss:

  • Why you as the founder needs to own hiring as long as possible
  • How to build your foundation to enable your business to grow exponentially easier
  • Challenge today?

    • Founders can't wait to delegate hiring
    • Not good at it
    • Don't want to invest the time to learn
      • ROI?
      • Buy into the belief that there is no “Right Way” to hire
      • Don’t believe 
      • Why is this important to the company?

        • To Build a company:
        • Having a founder that is excellent at recruiting makes it easier to succeed
        • Build  a company that matters, 
        • Bonus: something with a mission that’s embedded into the product
        • How do we solve the problem?
