Substack Week: Why Product Management is Broken and How to Fix It With Anton Zaides In this SPECIAL Substack Week episode, we dive deep into the current state of product management with Anton Zaides, a seasoned software engineer and leader. Anton shares his perspectives on why product management is fundamentally broken and offers practical solutions for organizations looking to improve their product development processes. The Journey to Engineering Leadership "I started to search for content from other engineering managers and focused on practical insights." Anton's journey spans 15 years in software engineering, from game development to DevOps and scaling startups. His transition to leadership revealed a gap in practical leadership content, which inspired him to start sharing his own experiences. Drawing from his four years as an engineering leader in a startup, Anton noticed patterns in product management that needed addressing, leading to his viral article on the topic. The Broken State of Product Management "My team was working on a feature, that got canceled the day after it was released." Product management faces several critical challenges in today's technology landscape. Anton identifies key issues including the development of unused features, increasing software complexity, and misaligned incentives that discourage innovation. Through his conversations with industry professionals, he discovered these problems were widespread, with teams frequently building features that get canceled or go unused. Despite following Agile methodologies, many organizations fail to properly evaluate feature impact, leading to wasted resources and frustrated teams. Product Managers vs. Program Managers "The PM spent only 5% of his time on talking to customers." One of the core issues Anton identifies is the transformation of product managers into glorified program managers. In many organizations, product managers spend most of their time managing JIRA tickets and dependencies rather than engaging with customers and driving innovation. The pressure to deliver on predetermined roadmaps, often dictated by executive teams, leaves little room for challenging assumptions or testing ideas with minimal scope. This shift away from customer interaction and strategic thinking has reduced the product manager's role to primarily managing internal processes. Fostering Better Product Management "PM's should be like a founder for the product business." To improve product management, Anton advocates for several key changes: Offloading program management responsibilities to the team Trusting product managers to make strategic decisions Requiring specific industry knowledge and experience Encouraging face-to-face customer interactions Moving product managers closer to commercial roles Involving engineers in customer conversations Organizational Structure and Communication "The more links you have in the communication chain, the worse the information gets communicated." Anton proposes a shift towards a more functional organizational structure where Product and Engineering work together more closely. He emphasizes the importance of direct communication between technical teams and customers, warning against over-reliance on data alone. The solution involves bringing everyone closer to the business side and creating stronger networks between organizations and engineers. Practical Implementation Tips "Get engineers to visit customers." Key recommendations for improving product management include: Involving engineers in customer and sales conversations Giving engineers visibility through release messaging and communications Establishing strong collaboration between engineering leaders and product managers Ensuring product managers have deep domain expertise Creating opportunities for direct customer interaction Treating product managers as business owners rather than project managers Recommended Resources for Further Study Anton's Article that we review in this interview: “Product Management is broken, a change is coming”  John Cutle's article on Product Manager's Responsibilities  Anton's Article on how to work effectively with your Product Managers A book recommendation: Empowered by Marty Cagan An episode of Lenny's podcast with Brian Chesky [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Eigentlich wollte ich heute über KI und das «mental Offloading» nachdenken, also über die Frage, wieviel Wissen wir an digitale Speicher und die KI auslagern können, ohne das kritische Denken zu beinträchtigen. Wörter lernen, Anatomie büffeln, Philosophen lesen – braucht es das heute noch, wo die KI doch alles auf Knopfdruck abrufbar hält? Und dann kam die Nachricht, dass SRF aus Spargründen das «Wissenschaftsmagazin» streicht. Die erste Reaktion auf eine solche Meldung ist emotional: Kopfschütteln, Erschrecken, ja Entsetzen. Eine ganze Reihe von Leserinnen und Lesern haben sich bei mir gemeldet: «Schreib was darüber!» Aber was kann ich von der Seitenlinie aus schon dazu beitragen? Ich bin kein Aktivist. Mein Thema ist das kritische Denken. «Kritisch» meint dabei nicht «kritisieren», sondern urteilen: begründet zu unterscheiden, was wichtig und unwichtig, richtig oder falsch ist. Ich habe mir deshalb gedacht, dass wir gemeinsam kritisch über den Entscheid von SRF nachdenken. Ich dekonstruiere für Sie die Medienmitteilung von SRF und gebe Ihnen ein begriffliches Raster, damit Sie sich selber eine Meinung bilden können.

Do you feel like you're drowning in tasks? Thinking about hiring an assistant but unsure where to start? In this episode, we're diving deep into the world of assistants for Realtors. We pulled stats from a national survey AND our own listener survey (thank you to all 170 responders!) to paint a clear picture of how assistants are used, how much they cost, and what tasks they're taking off agents' plates.   We're breaking down: The numbers: How many Realtors have assistants, and what are they paying them? What assistants actually do: From transaction coordination to social media management and everything in between. Licensed vs. unlicensed assistants: Which is better for your business? When to hire: Are you really ready for an assistant, or do you just need better systems? Avoiding assistant regret: How to avoid hiring mistakes and set up a solid working relationship.   Plus, we share a genius exercise from one of our listeners to help you figure out what you should delegate and what you should keep on your plate. You don't have to do it all, but you do need a plan! If you're ready to stop scrambling and start delegating with confidence, this episode is for you.   Key Quotes/Takeaways “An assistant won't fix a disorganized business. You've got to tidy up before inviting someone in.” – Alissa “The mental load of real estate is heavy. Offloading even small tasks can make a huge difference.” – Katy “Start small. Test the waters with one or two tasks before committing to a full-time assistant.” – Katy “If you don't have systems in place, hiring an assistant might cost you more in the long run.” – Alissa “There's no one right way to structure assistant pay or tasks. Do what works for you and your business.” – Katy Products, People & Previous Episodes Mentioned Trello: For task organization and project management. SkySlope: A transaction management platform.

Briefing: How AI Affects Critical Thinking and Cognitive Offloading What This Paper Highlights - The study explores the growing reliance on AI tools and its effects on critical thinking, specifically through cognitive offloading—delegating mental tasks to AI systems. - Key finding: Frequent AI tool use is strongly associated with reduced critical thinking abilities, especially among younger users, as they increasingly rely on AI for decision-making and problem-solving. - Cognitive offloading acts as a mediating factor, reducing opportunities for deep, reflective thinking. Why This Is Important - Shaping Minds: Critical thinking is central to decision-making, problem-solving, and navigating misinformation. If AI reliance erodes these skills, it has profound implications for education, work, and citizenship. - Generational Divide: Younger users show higher dependence on AI, suggesting that future generations may grow less capable of independent thought unless deliberate interventions are made. - Education and Policy: There's an urgent need for strategies to balance AI integration with fostering cognitive skills, ensuring users remain active participants rather than passive consumers. What's Curious and Interesting - Cognitive Shortcuts: Participants increasingly trust AI to make decisions, yet this trust fosters "cognitive laziness," with many users skipping steps like verifying or analyzing information. - AI's Double-Edged Sword: While AI improves efficiency and provides tailored solutions, it also reduces engagement in activities that develop critical thinking, like analyzing arguments or synthesizing diverse viewpoints. - Education as a Buffer: People with higher educational attainment are better at critically engaging with AI outputs, suggesting that education plays a key role in mitigating these risks. What This Tells Us About the Future - Critical Thinking at Risk: AI tools will only grow more pervasive. Without proactive efforts to maintain cognitive engagement, critical thinking could erode further, leaving society more vulnerable to misinformation and manipulation. - Educational Reforms Needed: Active learning strategies and media literacy are essential to counterbalance AI's convenience, teaching people how to engage critically even when AI offers "easy answers." - Shifting Cognitive Norms: As AI takes over more routine tasks, we may need to redefine what skills are critical for thriving in an AI-driven world, focusing more on judgment, creativity, and ethical reasoning.

Here's the revised summary with the name corrected: Podcast Episode #138: "The Big Domino" Host: Damion Lupo In this episode of Financial Underdogs, Damion Lupo explores the concept of the "big domino"—the pivotal choice or action that sets off a chain reaction to transform your life. Reflecting on his own journey, Damion shares practical strategies to identify and leverage your big domino for a more intentional and impactful life. Key Takeaways: Identify Your Big Domino: Recognize the one decision or habit that can trigger profound change. For Damion, giving up alcohol in 2024 was the domino that set his transformation in motion. The Power of a Coach or Mentor: Invest in a world-class coach, mentor, or therapist who provides honest feedback and helps you see blind spots. This is a vital relationship for growth and clarity—potentially more significant than many others in your life. Clean Fuel, Clean Life: Prioritize clean eating and minimize harmful substances like alcohol and processed foods. What you consume impacts your energy, focus, and overall health. Leverage a World-Class Integrator: Hire an executive assistant or integrator to handle tasks and free up your mental energy for strategic thinking. Offloading tasks allows you to focus on vision and creativity rather than logistics. Set Boundaries to Protect Your Time and Energy: Create clear boundaries to guard against "vampires" who drain your time and energy. Value your time as your most prized possession and use it intentionally. Live by Design, Not Default: Be mindful of your choices and surroundings, consciously designing your life rather than reacting to others' agendas. Use tools, systems, and boundaries to stay focused on your goals and priorities. Damion closes the episode by encouraging listeners to embrace simplicity and clarity in 2025. By identifying and focusing on your big domino, you can unlock a domino effect of positive changes.

How and why did human's develop self-awareness of what we know and don't know? How does it develop in relation to how we evaluate what other people know? What are the risks of cognitive bias tainting our ability to learn and self correct? In this episode, we have the interesting question of our own self-awareness, or Meta-cognition, to understand. For centuries philosophers have called on us to “know thyself”, but only now with the tools of modern neuroscience have we been able to scientifically quantify the way we consciously track our behaviour, performance, thoughts and knowledge. So today we'll be getting into why this is important for learning and error correction; we're going to talk about meta-cognition's use for “mind reading” I.e. tracking our confidence in others in their own knowledge, both friends and foes, fundamental for the evolution of our collaborative groups; the implications of cognitive bias blind spots in metacognition for updating our collective beliefs over time; also whether metacognition is proportionally correlated to intelligence; and how technology and AI has and will influence the future of our self-awareness, and whether it's convenient to try programming AI to be metacognitive too, or if that would invite disaster.

In this conversation, Nick and Stephen discuss Stephen's board game publishing company, We Ride Game, and his video production business, Anthem Video. They talk about their experiences at conventions, the costs and sales associated with booth presence, and the importance of building connections and brand recognition. They also discuss the process of planning booth setups, the evolution of the production company, and the importance of delegating tasks to focus on core strengths. Anthem Video, a video production company, and WeRide Games, a board game company, are two separate ventures run by the same group of friends. Anthem Video focuses on selling video services, which can be challenging due to the ambiguity and complexity of the product. On the other hand, WeRide Games, selling board games, is more straightforward and enjoyable. The team uses different marketing strategies for each venture, including leveraging successful projects to attract new clients and pitching specific videos or recent successes to potential customers. They also utilize project management tools like Slack and ClickUp to streamline their workflow. www.anthem.video instagram.com/anthem.video http://weridegames.com instagram.com/we_ride_games Music by Old Romans: https://www.instagram.com/old_romans --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/a4ps/support

Sometimes, you have to take a step back to leap forward. Over the past couple of years, Meta, Amazon, Block and Shopify are among the growth companies to have made efficiency cuts following the pandemic. Gary Robinson, an investor in Baillie Gifford's US Equity Team, says that's made them more agile and resilient – qualities that will let them take advantage of artificial intelligence and other opportunities to drive long-term growth. Background: Gary Robinson is joint manager of the Baillie Gifford US Growth Trust, a manager of the American Fund and a partner in our firm. In this episode of Short Briefings on Long Term Thinking, he explores how four leading internet-focused firms have streamlined their operations and reallocated resources to become more adaptable during a period of rapid change.Robinson draws a parallel with companies that made cutbacks after the global financial crisis to suggest that the markets may have underestimated how much growth can be unlocked by leaders taking a hard look at their firm's spending, organisational structure and business priorities.Robinson suggests that recent efficiency drives will help Shopify, Meta and Amazon pursue AI-related opportunities that could meaningfully increase their earnings. And at Block, efforts to bring two products closer together could help the firm challenge Visa, Mastercard and American Express. Resources: Behind The Tech: Tobi Lütke: CEO and Founder, ShopifyDwarkesh Podcast: Mark Zuckerberg – Llama 3, Open Sourcing $10b Models & Caesar AugustusBent Flyvberg: How Big Things Get DoneCyril Northcote Parkinson: Parkinson's Law, and Other Studies in Administration More from Gary Robinson: Lessons from evolutionary biologyWhy companies should embrace chaos Companies mentioned include: AmazonBlockMetaNetflixShopify Timecodes: 00:00    Introduction01:40    A background in biochemistry02:55    The appeal of American companies03:30    Parallels with the global financial crisis04:40   Post-Covid efficiency efforts06:25    Addressing overhiring and patched-together processes07:40    Future-proofed businesses08:00    The potential of AI08:10    Shopify and the distraction of side quests10:45    Shopify's Sidekick assistant12:50    Engineering Shopify's internal operations14:20    The authority of founder-leaders16:00    Meta's ‘year of efficiency'18:00    How AI can drive further growth at Facebook and Instagram20:10    Business chatbots on WhatsApp and Messenger21:15    Investing in Block22:30    Capping employee numbers without compromising growth24:40    Square and Cash App's potential to rival Visa and Mastercard26:35    Meeting Jack Dorsey27:40    Discipline and focus at Amazon29:00    Amazon's fast-growing advertising business30:20    Generative AI's trillion-dollar opportunity for AWS31:25    Offloading routine tasks to artificial intelligence32:25    Book recommendation33:40    Outro

Hope for the Caregiver
The Box Of Things Requiring Redemption

Hope for the Caregiver

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 9, 2023 2:10


A demoralizing point for many family caregivers lies in unmet expectations, hopes, and dreams. We often visualize what could be—but things beyond our control are roadblocks. Ashamedly, I admit to attempting control and trying to force things on more than one occasion—only to frustrate myself, my wife, and (many) others. Letting go of those hopes and expectations, however, can be painful. Over the last few years, I've tried a different approach. In my mind, I envision a rather large container I call “The Box of Things That God Will Have to Redeem.” Offloading those items, losses, heartaches, and disappointment to God reduces my angst and the potential for resentment.  For me, the box is genuine and reflects my faith that God will indeed redeem each of those things—He's better at carrying them than me. Saying that “God will have to redeem” does not demand the Almighty to act; it simply recognizes that He alone has the power to do so. Of course, the temptation to retrieve items and stew on them often grips me. Yet, I can affirm each time I place them back in the box, I grow less tempted to dwell on them. After decades of trying to carry the impossible, I find I breathe easier and live more peacefully when trusting God with all the broken pieces. Remembering Jesus was a carpenter further bolsters my faith—knowing He doesn't even waste the sawdust.    And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. —Revelation 21:4 KJV

Ever feel like you're constantly bombarded by societal expectations and pressures, especially as a woman? Well, you're not alone.  I recently had an eye-opening chat with Shawna Samuel, the founder of Mental Offload, and we dove into this hot topic, exploring how imperative it is to subtract these pressures to reclaim our time and energy. Shawna's insights on shedding the perennial need to please others, to make space for self-care and personal growth, are just the wake-up call we all need. Navigating the labyrinth of household chores and responsibilities often brings its own set of challenges. The talk with Shawna brought to light the concept of weaponized incompetence, and how it's often entwined with maternal gatekeeping. These patterns can strain relationships, but more importantly, they can impact our ability to trust and allow space for our partners to learn. We dug into how we can shift these dynamics and embrace a more balanced, equitable approach at home. Finally, we took a hard look at the mental load that women, particularly women of color, carry. This emotional and mental burden is often underappreciated, yet it can steal precious time from self-improvement and skill-building. Shawna shared practical advice on how to offload this mental load, making decisions about travel, childcare, and self-care that put you first.  Listen in and discover how to challenge societal norms, advocate for your personal space, and set the path for a life that's balanced and fulfilling. About Shawna Samuel Shawna is an executive leadership & productivity coach for women and the host of The Mental Offload podcast. She's the founder of The Mental Offload, which specializes in helping women balance demanding jobs and busy family lives, without losing their minds. Shawna has led teams across 20 global markets in her professional life and holds an MBA from Yale in addition to Advanced Certification in Feminist Coaching. She lives with her husband and 2 children in Paris. Chapter Summaries Subtracting Struggles for Women's Success (0:00:01)  We discuss expectations from society, how to take back our time and energy, and the importance of saying no. Challenges With Delegating Household Chores (0:17:25)  We examine weaponized incompetence, maternal gatekeeping, and how expectations can impact trust and learning.

Do you want to communicate results and build trust with clients? Need to streamline reporting without sacrificing quality to show the full value your agency offers? Effective client reports are the best way to communicate your results to clients and improve their trust in your services. However, putting together detailed reports can be time-consuming unless you're using a proven automated reporting tool. Today's guest offers an integrated solution that helps agencies offer complete reporting without having to actually build the reports. Their services help agencies save time and reduce churn. Having built his software company from scratch, he's intimate with challenges like hiring missteps, building leadership, and learning to let go, which he also shares in this interview. Joe Kindness is the owner of AgencyAnalytics, an automated client reporting solution for marketing agencies. With Agency Analytics, agencies can connect all their clients into one system and bring in all that data to create the reports. You can even automate this by setting up those reports for your client to get monthly, or weekly, or they can log into the platform to see a dashboard. In this episode, we'll discuss: How the pandemic sparked their growth by popularizing remote work. The risks of scaling fast. Learning to build a strong leadership team. The right time to let go control of the agency.   Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio | Stitcher | Radio FM   All In On Remote: Cracking the Hiring Code Post-Pandemic Joe and his partner started like many agency owners by completely bootstrapping the process of building their company. It was not a straight path to success, but rather a start that took them to several stops before finding the best formula. “That first thing you try will definitely fail. And it won't be the thing that takes you to the end. But it's part of the journey,” he shares. After starting the AgencyAnalytics back in 2010, they still had only 14 employees by 2020. Early on, they figured hiring would be the easy part. They'd already built great software, now it was time to open a Toronto office and welcome all the people who would want to work with them. Unfortunately, they found out it's very hard to scale and find great people. It took a lot of attempts before they figured it out. What were they getting wrong about hiring and attracting the right people? Looking back, there were several factors. For instance, Joe remembers how hard it was to attract people to a remote business pre-pandemic. People thought it was a scam. Once the pandemic opened the doors to popularize the remote model, they knew they had to go all in. They hired a recruiter, HR people, and all the support they needed so Joe wouldn't have to handle all the interviewing alone. Soon they found a rhythm, gained some traction, and started to hire some generalists. Expand Cautiously and Evolve to the Needs of the Market Rapid hiring initially brought pure excitement after a decade of bootstrapping. But the thrill of scaling soon gave way to overwhelming demands. Joe added HR support, although uncertain it justified a full role. The results spoke volumes. Offloading time-consuming interviewing let Joe refocus on the agency. This milestone embodied their measured growth mindset: Test new roles cautiously, validate impact, then scale boldly. Another calculated risk? Transitioning from a niche SEO tool to an integrated agency solution. Though known for rank tracking, reporting capabilities showed greater potential. Months of pushing and prodding led to decisive commitment. Joe knew niching down as a comprehensive agency resource felt right, though not without uncertainty. In the end, their courage to strategically evolve paid off. For Joe, exciting growth requires patiently navigating uncertainty. Thoughtfully elevate support roles, validate successes, and then expand courageously. Keep your vision broad but your validations focused. Bringing Strategy into Agency Leadership Rather Than Just People Managers When you start hiring, you mostly hire people to do and manage stuff. At some point, however, you'll need to bring in team leaders. For Joe, it started with understanding what a true leader's role is. A leader is not just a manager of people. A leader brings in strategy. Therefore, being able to get to that point where you can afford or attract a person to handle the strategy is a really key moment. Joe's advice is that once you get to that point where you can bring that person in, just do it. Don't get too caught up in the equity or the salary you'll give them. The right person will give you a positive ROI and will be key to helping the company get to the next milestone. How to make sure you find the right person? There's always a chance you'll hire a bad leader, and they'll end up creating more work for you. Take the time to ensure you're choosing the right person. Don't just hire the first resume that looks great because you need help fast. More recently, Joe and his partner have used recruitment firms to find leaders to ensure they run a thorough search. It is quite expensive, but they already have a wide network to pick from and will only recommend the best fit. When to Relinquish Control and Trust Your Leaders Even after you've hired great leaders, you may find it hard to let go and step away. Joe and his partner know every facet of the business therefore sometimes fall into micromanaging. Luckily, his leaders understand they have years of experience working on all things. The systems they built are not perfect; however, something there did work, which is why they were able to grow as they did. Leaders should get processes that work better for a bigger company but this can't happen overnight because it will break everything. Find leaders that recognize that even though you didn't do everything by the textbook, it worked and now they need to transition that to the more scalable way. You'll be more likely to evolve and grow with someone with this mentality than with someone who just wants to come in and change everything. Having someone who respects the work you've done so far helps you, the owner, relinquish control, which is really hard to do. For Joe, it became easier once he hired the right leaders and recognized he was now the worst person in the room. The aspects of the business you're most passionate about will always be the hardest to let go. However once you can build a team you trust, you'll gladly step away. Moreover, you don't necessarily have to. The idea is getting to a point where you can choose to work in those parts of the business you most like but that the business doesn't necessarily need you to do it.

Proven Strategies for Building a Successful Lifestyle Recruitment Business, with Gregg Salkovitch, Ep #191

Working 100+ hours a week nearly burned Gregg out. If running your recruitment business is stressing you out, Gregg's story may be able to help you.   I am pleased to be joined by Gregg Salkovitch. Gregg is intentionally growing his recruitment firm to become a lifestyle business. Along the way, he learned a lot of things to achieve his goal while gaining more lifestyle freedom. You will hear insightful strategies on how Gregg is building his team and delegating tasks. We also discussed why it is critical to hire a COO to help you in scaling your business.   After a career as a top sales performer for 3 consecutive companies, Gregg co-founded a sales recruitment agency to combine the 2 things he loves most in business: sales and helping people. In 6 years, Gregg grew his company organically with no outside funding to 60 employees, reaching the Inc. 5000 for fastest growing companies 3 consecutive times.  He then started a separate recruiting company, Right Choice Resources, which specifically focuses on the placement of salespeople, executives, marketing, account management, and customer success.   Episode Outline and Highlights   [01:38] Gregg's journey of how he got into recruiting. [04:30] When being laid off is a blessing in disguise. [10:18] Transitioning from individual contributor to a recruitment business owner: Gregg shares the challenges that they overcame. [14:51] Scaling team to 60 people in six years. [17:07] Gregg reveals his key success factors. [20:06] Character over resume: hiring strategies to get the right people. [35:11] Discussion on growth strategies for a lifestyle business. [37:02] When to hire a COO role to scale your business. [42:49] Make less money in the short term to get long-term benefits. [48:04] Transferrable skills from sales to recruiting. [52:57] What is next for Gregg and his business?   Getting Laid Off Pushed Gregg Into a Recruiting Career   Gregg shared an amazing story of resilience on how he got into the recruiting industry. Getting laid off unexpectedly pushed Gregg into a recruiting career. He loved his sales job and was blindsided when he was laid off after 4 years as a top performer. This made interviewing difficult as he had to overcome the perception that he must have underperformed despite being an actual top performer. He also had non-compete from his old company which prevented him from staying in the same industry.   Facing these challenges pushed Greg to explore a new path by using his sales skills to transition into recruiting. This pivot into recruiting ended up being life-changing for Greg's career. You will hear how he used skills he learned from sales to be an effective recruiter. He even leverages his experience of being laid off to engage with candidates. “I think when I speak to candidates and we're seeing more layoffs right now, I have major empathy for them because it's not just like, I've sold like you. I've stood at trade shows for 5 hours like you. I've been laid off like you. And that really helps me, in my opinion, become a better recruiter because I've actually lived it.”   Though difficult, getting laid off opened new opportunities that Greg capitalized on. In his words, “It was a blessing in disguise. It was probably the best thing that ever happened.”   Character Over Credentials: Building an All-Star Team to Scale   Another topic that will also resonate with a lot of business owners is strategies for hiring recruiters and team members to scale. Gregg focuses on hiring people based on character and shared values over resume credentials. He wants people he genuinely enjoys working with. He told the story of how hiring a trusted person without recruiting experience worked well for their business.    This strategy works well for Gregg and his team. He has grown his first recruiting company (with no outside funding) to 60 employees, reaching the Inc. 5000 for Fastest-Growing Companies 3 times! These are some of my takeaways from their strategy:   Vetting the work ethic, values, and coachability is crucial Greg wants employees he has a natural rapport  A team aligned in values helps ensure an ethical, collaborative culture   Why Hiring a COO is Critical   If you are a solo recruitment entrepreneur and planning to scale, hiring a COO is critical. This has been true for both Gregg and me, where hiring an effective COO became a game changer.    A lot of us may be able to relate to what Gregg said:   “I've been doing it by myself for twelve years and I've never really had help. And it's been exhausting. I mean, it's been an amazing ride, but it's been exhausting. And I like to have my recruiters focus on recruiting. I mean, that's what keeps the lights on and not worrying about doing side projects and onboarding employees and dealing with maybe a tough client, which I know is going to wear them down a little bit. So that's why I decided to hire somebody in operations, is that I have my recruiters recruiting. I'm doing everything else, and to do everything else, it's a lot. I just need a helping hand.”   Gregg is intentionally growing his firm slowly to have a lifestyle business. Hiring a COO helps him to focus on sales while delegating operations. Offloading operational tasks and delegating things that he does not enjoy doing creates more freedom and a better lifestyle. This resonates well with me. Some business owners may be apprehensive to take this approach because paying someone else can translate to lesser profit. But keep in mind that making less in the short term creates more freedom to earn much more in the long term.    Our Sponsor   This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro    i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.
