This week's guest is Roberta Matuson, the talent maximizer who is a leadership expert and author. We discuss the correlation between leadership in large and small businesses, the importance of managing relationships in the workplace, strategies for attracting and retaining top talent, and the impact of investing in employee development on revenue growth. 

Roberta provides advice for CEOs and founders who experience anxiety around recruitment and shares strategies for cutting hiring times in half. She also discusses the red flags to look out for when hiring and emphasises the value of using networks and employee referral programs. 

In this conversation, Adam seeks advice from Roberta on mentoring a team member for a leadership role and attracting top candidates to his company. They discuss the importance of clearly defining the traits and expectations of a leader, offering trial periods or acting roles, and providing coaching support.
