In one of our favorite episodes, entrepreneur Leslie Fall shares how a team member who helped get her to a certain level of success was no longer helping the company grow. Leslie explains how, by employing the concept of “multiplication by subtraction,” she overcame the problem to great benefit, plus other gains she’s made since taking advantage of business coaching through Strategic Coach.

Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode:

• What Leslie gets out of being in a community of like-minded entrepreneurs.
• The changes a colleague has noticed in Leslie since she joined Strategic Coach.
• How Leslie introduces Strategic Coach thinking tools to her colleagues.
• How her team now gets four months’ worth of work done in under a week.

Show Notes:

Sometimes, you have to let go of what your job typically is in order to let team members grow.

For reasons of fit or reasons of competence, a team member can hold you back.

It can take a fresh perspective to notice inefficiencies in your process.

It’s exciting to see where people will go once their time has been freed up.

When people have the time and mental energy, they’ll be more alert, curious, responsive, and resourceful.

Team members who are freed up have time to think about other opportunities for revenue.

You're probably only relying on your team 50% of what you could be.

The minute you think of a new idea, think about who can help you with it.
