Owning a business is great - but where's the handbook on building a team?
In every story on Instagram it seems another of your business peers has hired a stellar employee yet AGAIN. How do they do it? And do they feel as fish-out-of-water as you?
HIRING IS EASY & GLAMOROUS - COACHING, INSPIRING AND LEADING IS THE REAL JOB
Social media has turned hiring into a milestone, telling us that once we reach 5-6-7-figures we can have someone else do the work we don't want to do anymore. Instead of cultivating disciplined leaders who inspire others to do their best work, we're building a community of unsustainable businesses led by business owners with shiny object syndrome and micromanagement tendencies.
but this doesn't have to be your story!
Building your team is a momentous occasion, but it also requires a leveling up of your role outside of your comfort zone. You'll need to stretch, grow, wield your strengths, mitigate your weaknesses, stay out of tasks that belong to your team, learn to trust, become a coach, serve as a mentor, and so much more.
introducing
Your team deserves more than winging it. They deserve the best you - the you who knows their leadership identity, strengths and style, who understands coaching + management techniques, who knows how to see the best in their team and make it reality.
