Welcome to Confessions of an Implementer, a podcast by Talent Harbor. We share unique stories of implementers and the companies they’ve transformed to give you a rare glimpse into the system's successes and challenges. I'm your host, Ryan Hogan.

Let’s dive in!

In this episode, I sit down with James Wisdom, an experienced EOS Implementor, who shares about his experience with managing over large teams, hiring the right person, and how to fire someone that does not align with the company. Through breaking down his three strike rule, clarity breaks, being disciplined during the hiring process, and setting achievable goals for yourself and your business, James shows leaders what they need to do to build the high performing team that you need.
