Of these, two of the most critical are (a) ongoing training and (b) effective and trustworthy branch managers, which means it is especially important for managers to receive continuing education.

If you start a small business, you're the one doing everything and it takes a lot of courage and a lot of trust to start to turn things over to someone else. Today's guest will share three steps to help you delegate and hire the right people. Jamie Van Cuyk, the owner and lead strategist of Growing Your Team, helps women who own small businesses become confident leaders who hire right every single time. Drawing from over 15 years of leadership experience, Jamie teaches her clients how to master the art of hiring. By learning the dynamics of each company and their specific needs, she helps them find their perfect-fit, long-lasting team members and avoid the hiring and firing cycle. Jamie's journey to entrepreneurship wasn't a straight line. She learned everything she could about running a business while still in corporate. She went into management to learn how to manage people and took on special projects to gain insight into other departments. When Jamie quit her job, she chose to try to start a software development company on the side while she cared for her young daughter. She did not know how to program, but her husband did.  She lasted six months learning to program before she realized it wasn't for her. “I realized I loved consulting,” says Jamie. “The main projects that I ended up working on were all around leadership development. One was a big training program for some of their leaders, and another one was helping a first-time manager really come fully into their role.” She had a Chamber of Commerce membership, and she started networking with small business owners attending those events. “I kept hearing over and over again that hiring was their number one problem,” says Jamie. Her plan was to help corporate clients, but she heard again and again the need for hiring solutions at a small business level.  Her business now focuses on hiring, education and really focusing on narrowing down to that ideal candidate and making sure the business owner has what they need to find that candidate. Even with this service offering, Jamie had to change her mindset and realize that she too could delegate tasks and enhance her offerings. Jamie outlines three steps to build trust when hiring a candidate to delegate your tasks to. Be clear on who you're going to hire. How are they going to fit into your organization? What is the expected communication style? Who are you as a manager? What does it mean for someone to be successful in this role? Set up a hiring process that brings you directly to your ideal candidate. You need to be specific. It's okay with your job posting to turn people off.  Onboarding takes time. The onboarding path and timeframe will look different for every position, but you have to train on all your expectations. Keep that in mind is even if someone is an expert at what they do and they're bringing their expertise to your business, you have to teach them how to do it inside your organization. It's that constant feedback loop and being able to let them do small things incrementally until they figure out how to do it the way you want it done.  Connect with Jamie Van Cuyk: https://growingyourteam.com Jamie's hiring checklist: https://growingyourteam.com/hiring-checklist/  Other GoG episodes you might want to check out: What Workplace Culture Really Means https://sarahwalton.com/workplace-culture/  Do You Know Who Your Team Is? https://youtu.be/9ax9hDZQZ3I?si=iSkNYpmZeXxwA9dB  You can check out our podcast interviews on YouTube, too! http://bit.ly/YouTubeSWalton   Thank you so much for listening.

By having a clear plan while remaining open to adjustments, being transparent with hires, delegating tasks effectively, understanding that mistakes are part of the process, and leaning on your team for support, you can create a strong foundation for growth. Remember, success is a collective effort, so foster collaboration and keep pushing forward.______________________________You can find me here:Instagram: @gingerbizWebsite: https://www.katymurrayphotography.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TipsandTricksforyourbusinessTwitter: https://twitter.com/GingerBizKM

So, you get a lot of candidates that are good quality candidates and you can be matched with the right person.” - Heidi DeCoux“We tend to like people that are like us. Those are not necessarily our best employees. In fact, oftentimes they're not— because we don't actually need another us. We need somebody that compliments us and that brings other things to the table. We already have our energy and bring our magic. We need people to bring THEIR magic. And so it's about two puzzle pieces that look very different. They're shaped very differently, but they sink in together.” - Heidi DeCoux“You need to go with a set of questions and a set of assessments that are really right for your small business, for what your business is, and for the type of people that you're hiring.” - Heidi DeCoux“You want to keep the interview a little more informal and conversational, so you can really get to know each other on a personal level.” - Heidi DeCoux“If this is not a new role that you're hiring for, if you've had somebody in this role in the past, even if they did work out and they left on good terms, you still wanna assess what wasn't perfect.” - Heidi DeCouxIn This Episode You'll Learn:How technology can either make or break small businesses Importance of a user manual in establishing the compatibility of the applicant to the companyHow transparency plays a vital role in the interview processBeing clear on what your deal breakers and non-negotiables are What it entails to personally know your job candidate Mentioned on the Show:Alchemized TeamsLove the show?

“No one can do it the way you are doing it, but it doesn't necessarily mean your way is the best way or the only way.” -Jamie Van Cuyk Hiring the right candidate is challenging, often we are better suited to, or skilled at other areas of our business. Sometimes we may even think putting out a job advertisement is a piece of cake and yet are baffled when we don't get suitable applicants or worse, hire someone that just doesn't fit well with the business.  We can't hire the right people into our business until we fully understand what the right person looks like. Skills can be taught, but values are more deeply ingrained. If you aren't sure what you value, how can you build a team of like-minded people?
