Who's Really the BOSS?

The Four R's of Improvement Season: Recharge, Review, Refocus, Refine


Listen Later

Rachel and Marcus share their approach to "improvement season" - the strategic summer months between tax deadlines when most accounting firms slow down. They break down their four-part framework of recharge, review, refocus, and refine, revealing how they used this time to tackle everything from cybersecurity upgrades to team candor training after completing a firm acquisition. The duo candidly grade their own performance while discussing the challenges of maintaining momentum when team members are taking well-deserved vacations.
