Danielle may hit a nerve or two in this episode when she highlights the RED FLAGS you cannot ignore when it comes to making 5-Star Employee Hires.    For most businesses, PAYROLL is your biggest expense and can be a significant drain on your profitability when you make a hiring mistake.    When your payroll is full of average, ho-hum, or worse employees – you need more labor at more expense to do the work that just one 5-Star Employee can accomplish.    Remember: If 5-Star Employees represent the top 15% of available talent – then statistically speaking, you will need to filter out 6 out of every 7 candidates to get that top 15% candidate.    You have to raise your RED FLAG alert level to max as you take candidates through your hiring gauntlet.     In this episode, Danielle lists multiple warning signs that HR professionals and business owners engaged in the hiring process should embrace.    Take notes to seeing and eliminating candidates based on critical candidate "RED FLAGS.”   IN THIS EPISODE: [00:21]  Danielle goes all in on hiring employees today [04:03] Red Flags- Working less than one year at multiple recent employers and exaggeration of duties and responsibilities [05:38] Red Flags- If their formal education is in an unrelated field from what you are looking for and their resume suggests a double employment history  [07:05] Red Flags- Grammar and punctuation errors and specific fields and industries Danielle would never hire from [10:05] Fields and industries we want to hire from [13:21] Danielle shares case histories [20:19] Danielle compares part-time employees to children and gives more examples of red flags [24:08] Danielle gives a fast overview of today's episode   KEY TAKEAWAYS: In today's market, working long-term in a company can be defined as working two years or more in the same company. There are industries you should avoid when looking to fill a position because they represent fields where there isn't urgency involved in their job. If a person can't correct errors in their resume, they are not the type of person you want to hire.   ABOUT THE HOSTS:   Danielle Mulvey is a former flight attendant-turned-entrepreneur and owns multiple businesses doing $50 million in annual revenue.

By doing this, your business can become more efficient and effective, making the most of the resources available to you. #2 Never outsource decision making As an entrepreneur, it's okay if you're not an accounting wizard. But that doesn't mean you can just outsource all financial tasks and let your employees handle everything. Ultimately, you need to be the one making the big decisions for your business, so it's important to regularly check in with your team and keep your finger on the financial pulse of your company.

The key is to cast a wide net, attracting as many candidates as possible and getting out of the box with your recruitment strategies. Hire people who are aligned with your true core values. That's the foundation of any business. If people aren't aligned, the relationship will not last.  If you don't love what you're doing, you'll go to work and be in pain the whole day through. This is a great cause for inefficiency in the workplace, people can't go into flow and they'll probably tap out  after three hours at work. If you're an employer, you're looking for limber people, not flexible people. A limber person is someone who's amenable to change, not rigid, someone who can go with the flow and do what's asked of them. "When you're working with like-minded people who have the same core values, I mean, that's where the magic happens.." —  Danielle Mulvey See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I  Connect with Danielle Mulvey:  Website: www.5staremployees.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-mulvey-66a315/ Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370  Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

On today's show, we discuss how average employees are impacting your profitability. Danielle Mulvey is a former flight attendant-turned-entrepreneur who has cracked the code on recruiting and retaining what she refers to as “5-Star Employees”: game-changing, dedicated, hardworking people who make big plays and get real, consistent results. Never one to settle for average, Danielle has scaled her several companies to over $50 million in annual revenue while spending less than 10 hours each week overseeing their operations. Danielle's own team of trusted 5-Star Employees provides her with the freedom to spend the rest of her workweek guiding other entrepreneurs through podcasting, workshops, and community curating.  Key Takeaways: 5-star employees represent the top 15% of the available talent in the market Recruiting and hiring effectively is key to success in your company. Cast a wide net. You'll need to review a lot of applicants. Create opportunities to test talent, similar to football training camp. One option is inviting the finalist candidates to do paid "shadow days."  5 Star Employee Rating SystemAlignment with core values This is the secret sauce to your organization. It's almost like being able to clone yourself if you can have an entire team of people that share your core values.11 universal qualities Assessing potential and mindset/skillset to do the job These are things such as ability to learn, ability to be limber, and ability to listen. Limberness and ability to listen are red flag qualities. They either have them or they don't, and you don't want them if they don't. Some of the other qualities could be improved by opportunity or coaching. 3x return on payroll Every employee should be bringing a 3x return on your investment in them. Often this is measured in how much they are taking off the plate of another employee/owner that has a higher billable rate. Success metrics for key responsibilities Quantify what success means - the expectations should have a measurement attached for the employee's 3-5 key responsibilities. Examples would be referrals, client feedback survey results, claims processed, etc Aptitudes and Skills  Employees need to show they can do the job. Determine 9-13 aptitudes/skills that you can test candidates on.  How do the 1,2,3-star employees impact profitability?Bloated payroll. A 5-star employee does the work of 2 or 3 lower star employees. Morale killer. 5-star employees love what they do. They treat the job as a craft, not a career. Anything less than that brings down the team. What should you do if you find yourself with a 1,2,3-star employee?Transition them to alumni status.

There are good employees and there are excellent employees. There are also those employees you know aren't performing well enough to stay or progress in your company. But to begin with, on what basis do you assess your employees' performance? What makes a five-star employee? Does a two-star employee have to stay a two-star employee? How can they grow themselves? Find answers to all those questions in this episode of the Advance podcast with Mike and his guest Danielle Mulvey. Danielle reveals the ingredients that make a five-star employee – the irreplaceable one who delivers consistent results for the company. With 25 years of experience as an entrepreneur, Danielle comes equipped with all the knowledge regarding hiring the right people for your team, letting go of those employees who don't fit well, and the metrics to assess each of them for their skills, ability, and performance. She also shares how she does the market analysis and competition to provide adequate pay to her employees. Listen in! EPISODE 19  SUMMARY & HIGHLIGHTS What is the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when hiring their first few significant hires? 1:33 They take everything that they don't want to do, or they're not good at, and assign it to the new hire. The problem is, often, it becomes too much for the other person. What is a five-star employee? 9:18 A five-star employee represents the top 15% of available talent in the market for the role. A major hiring mistake made by businesses is not casting a very wide net for applicants. Hiring from a small pool means your chances of getting that 5-star employee are also less.Does a two-star employee always have to be a two-star employee?19:21A two-star employee is two-star only for that role. Danielle and her team have identified 11 Universal qualities that are key to being a five-star employee – some are coded red, which means they're very difficult to change, two are coded green, and the rest are coded gray. The green ones are relatively easy to change, and the gray ones also can be changed, but maybe with some coaching or help from a hiring manager. The red ones are the toughest to change.How much time should we give employees to improve their performance before they're shown the door?24:20In the shortest, possibly two weeks. Also, we don't need it to take six months. The reason is, we're all creatures of comfort. If we can show up to a place and the people there are relatively polite to us, and we get a paycheck every other week, we'll stay within that comfort zone forever. To a certain degree, you have to make it a bit uncomfortable for those employees so they're ready to move on and can move on quickly.(Full shownotes at https://connect.stepstoadvance.com)

Training Unleashed's host Evan Hackel recently sat down with Danielle Mulvey, founder of a remarkable company called The All In Company that has developed systems to hire and retain only 5-star employees. Their conversation revolves around the concept of 5-star employees elevating a team and moving the company forward, to help it grow and prosper. So, what are 5-star employees? According to Danielle, the 5-start employee represents the top 15% of available talent in the market. A 5-star employee is “really that ideal candidate for the role who has the drive, the passion, maybe experience, maybe not, but the aptitudes to be successful in the role and deliver on the key responsibilities that you need for the role - and the measure of success you put to those key responsibilities.” It's an interesting concept that starts in the hiring process—digging deep into what you need from the candidate, their aptitudes, their core values. It's about spending time with the candidate to understand them and evaluate the fit. Danielle shares a tip on how to change your job postings to start attracting your 5-star employees today!

The difference between productive and uber-productive employees comes down to one critical trait. Some employees have it, and some just don't. The employees who have it are incredible. They don't stop until the job is done. Then they come back for more. They treat every project like it's a life-or-death matter. They get things done faster than you can stack the responsibilities. These folks are gold. They're magic. They're the best thing that'll ever happen to your business. What these special employees have is incredibly powerful. They are motivated, energized, and focused. They get things done. They're willing to make decisions, learn new things, and take calculated risks. They do it with positivity, politeness, and energy. They bring others along for the ride because their passion is inspirational. They get that it's more effective to share the burden, and they inspire others to follow. What these employees bring to the table is like rocket fuel. When you get one on your team, hang on to that person as long as possible. That's hard, but it's not impossible. Others will spot these talented rock stars and will try to poach them. I'm not suggesting that others on your team aren't incredibly productive. Hopefully you have a bunch of great team members getting things done and making a difference in the lives of your clients. But these uber-productive folks are special. They're unusual. They're hard to find, and they bring a unique quality to the workplace. What's the thing they bring? What makes them special? Uber-Productive Employees Bring an Ownership Mentality They act like they own the place. But it's not an act. From day one, they see the business like you see the business. They view your business, and their place in it, differently from others. They feel like they own the practice. They likely don't own it because you haven't granted them an interest (yet). But they come to the table prepared to act like an owner. That's the way they are wired. That's how they see the world and their place in it. They feel responsible. They feel obligated. They feel the pressure of doing the job right, and they rise and fall, emotionally, with the success and struggles of the business. They ARE owners of the business, even if the paperwork doesn't reflect it. Typical employees don't behave like an owner. They see the world differently. Most employees feel owned by the business. They play the part of the reactor. They feel that decisions are made by others and imposed upon them. They wait to be told what to do. They assume there are rights and wrongs and that someone else knows the difference. Employees who act like owners have a dramatically different mind-set. The owners understand their role in making decisions. They understand the burden of that responsibility. They appreciate the authority and the consequences of their miscalculations. They know they won't always be right, but they're willing to take a chance, create something better, and keep at it until it works. And they're willing to do it as an employee. As you collect these special people and bring them onto your team, you grow. Revenue climbs, clients get happier, referrals increase, and profits expand. More significantly, as you bring someone with an ownership mentality to the team, you feel less alone. The burden lifts. You become free to be creative, think through alternatives, and plan for what's next. These special people bring much more than productivity to the mix. They change the culture, they brighten your outlook, and they help you find the path to success for the entire team. But Sometimes We Resist Their Contributions For many of us, there's a temptation to react negatively to employees with the ownership mentality. We hire them, usually by accident because we don't realize who they really are, and then we suppress their flame. That's a gigantic mistake. Instead, you should fuel the flame, fan the flame, and grow the flame, but don't kill it. The flame shows you the way forward. It's our business. We want control. That urge is strong. We're bull-headed. We want to run the show even when we're drowning. Don't do it. Resist your urge. Step back. Without even realizing it, we have a tendency to… Discourage them, tell them to slow down, and ask them to wait. Leave them out. Feel criticized. Embarrass them for overstepping. Shoot down their ideas. Perceive them as a threat to our authority. Deprive them of information. Bring them down a notch. Withhold credit for their achievements. Get in their way. Of course, you'd never react that way to a hard-charging, driven, motivated employee, right? I might. In fact, I have. It's embarrassing when I see it now from a distance. It felt right at the time. Even today, I still resist the rock stars. It's hard to change my instant reaction to these situations. The best I can do is remind myself to pause before reacting. It's a mindfulness game, and I don't always win. Sometimes, I push back when they drive forward. I don't even realize it. I hold on to my old way of thinking. It's easy to behave badly when I feel vulnerable. It's a short step to a snarky remark when I feel out of control. It's easy to respond negatively when others get the credit for the thing I've been building after they swoop in and take it up a notch. I do all of that, and I get it. I'm wrong. My instant, emotional reaction is counterproductive. Intellectually, I understand the value of my rock stars, appreciate the energy they bring, and believe they are critical to our growth, but that doesn't always offset my emotional reactions. Emotions aren't always rational, right? Our emotions are, more often than not, the key to the growth of our business and the biggest single impediment to our growth. Our reactions---when not properly considered---can stop these special employees in their tracks. It's rarely our competition that gets in our way. It's ourselves. These rock stars are trying to move us forward. We must get out of the way, or they'll soon be moving someone else forward. They're so good that they have options. When they don't have options, they make them. They're not sticking around unless you do your part, get out of their way, and let them do what owners do: build the business. How to Keep Your Rock Star Employees Around To keep employees with the ownership mentality on board, first, be hyperaware of the list above. Doing the things I mention below will not offset, diminish, or counteract the behaviors listed above. It takes a long time to nurture a relationship. It takes only an instant to destroy it. Don't break the relationship. Nurture it. Once it's broken, it's difficult to repair. These rock stars need some love. Here's a starting place… 1. Praise Them For a long time, the highest praise I could offer, in my mind, was a paycheck. Employees get paid every two weeks, so why do I have to say more? That mind-set led to lots of turnover. Praise is free. It's good for them, and it's good for you. Loosen up and spread the word that good work is appreciated. 2. Encourage Them Things don't always turn out as planned. Praise the effort. Look for successes along the road. Let them know that you're in it with them and that you appreciate their work. Be encouraging, be positive, bring pizza for the late-night crunch, and tell them how great they're doing (even when things look bleak). 3. Reward Them When things go well, be generous. Don't limit rewards to just praise. Buy the plane ticket for the vacation, order the book you know they'd love, and send them to the continuing education program that's really just a paid umbrella-drink vacation. What is perceived as a reward varies from person to person. One person is thrilled with a book as a gift; another perceives it as assigned work. Get to know your rock stars so you'll know what's best. 4. Brag About Them Tell the clients, your spouse, the judge, opposing counsel, the Rotary Club, and anybody else who'll listen about what a great job your rock stars do. Spread the word. Don't keep it a secret. Yep, bragging increases their value in the marketplace and makes it more likely that someone will offer them a job, but do it anyway. They'll appreciate it, and they deserve it. 5. Thank Them Sit them down. Close the door. Look in their eyes and thank them for what they're doing. Shake their hand. Tell them how much you appreciate it. Saying “thank you” is more powerful than we imagine. It doesn't have to be accompanied by a check or a fruit basket. Taking the time, focusing on the task, and communicating your gratitude sincerely is powerful all by itself. 6. Allow Them to Take Risks Trusting your rock stars is powerful and affirming. It won't always work out, but it's worth doing. When you take risks, things don't always go according to plan. Likewise, things won't always go according to plan for rock stars. All movement comes with risk. Constraining risk constrains the rewards. Yes, our lawyer personality freaks out when risk is involved. We want our fingers in the mix in case anything goes wrong. But that limits the opportunities for your business. Assume that your rock stars can handle some risk. Then man up and take the blame when it doesn't work out. 7. Ask for Their Feedback Your rock stars have lots of ideas about how you can do better. In fact, your rock stars want you to step up, get out of your own way, and be more effective. Ask for honest, open feedback and let it happen. Say “thank you” and don't explain yourself. Take some time to let it sink in and do what you can to improve. You're on the same team. It's not mean-spirited criticism; it's constructive. 8. Respect Them Rock stars get respect because they earn it. Treat your rock stars as your peers. Treat your rock stars as equals. Treat your rock stars better than you'd like to be treated. You can't fake it. Your rock stars will know. Understand that the rock-star qualities are rare. Rock stars deserve the special treatment. 9. Ask for Advice Don't assume you know the answers or have the solutions. Turn to your ownership-minded employees for help when you need it. Get input, ask for advice, and then act upon it. Your rock stars see things more clearly sometimes because they aren't affected by the same emotions as you. Listen to their input. You're lucky to have people so interested that they'll offer an opinion. Then either take their advice or create an alternative plan together. 10. Give Them Credit When the wins come---and they'll come more as you build a team of rock stars---give them the credit. Thank them, praise them, brag about them, and reserve none of the credit for yourself. Give it all away. It's the most powerful gift you can offer. 11. Take the Blame Rock stars screw up. They'll screw up even bigger if you give them the authority they need to make the big decisions. Give them that authority anyway. Expect a disaster from time to time, because it probably would have happened even if you retained the authority for yourself. When it comes, take the blame. Debrief in private, figure out where it went wrong, and learn from the experience. Model great leadership behavior so your rock stars will learn---this time---from you. 12. Empower Them Give your rock stars room to do their job. How much? More room than makes you comfortable. Give them authority over decisions you might otherwise reserve for yourself. Give them budget authority that makes you worry. Authorize them to make purchases, hire team members, fire people, and interact with clients. It's OK to feel a bit out of control. Push yourself to let them bring their best to your firm. 13. Inform Them Keep your rock stars in the loop. Let them know about the good, the bad, and the ugly. Don't keep secrets. They can't help you fix problems if they aren't aware. If rock stars learn that they're out of the loop, it might undermine the relationship. Keeping them informed won't always be easy, but it's the only way to keep the business moving forward with everyone on board. 14. Change Policies That Treat Them Like Employees Policies and procedures are good. But consider the impact of policies that treat employees, especially those who exhibit ownership behavior, like children. Don't expect your rock star, who worked until midnight fixing a problem, to be in the chair at 8:00 AM the next morning. Policies make sense until they don't. Make sure your policies give your people the room to do what needs doing without being burdened by dumb rules. 15. Give Them Ownership Sharing ownership in a law firm is easy when your rock stars are lawyers. It's harder when you're trying to share ownership with someone who doesn't have a law license. Some firms create phantom stock share plans where ownership is shared symbolically. Some create separate entities owning the administrative support services and share ownership in that distinct entity. However you do it, your goal with any such plan is to incentivize and reward your rock stars for growing the size of the pie. You're not giving away any of your pie; you're making the pie bigger. This is win/win when you have rock stars who want literal ownership. 16. Be There for Them Rock stars have personal lives. Things go wrong. Be there to take care of them when they need it. Maintain communication with these folks. Check in with them and listen to what's happening in their lives, remember it, and follow up. Go to the hospital when they get sick. Attend the funeral of the loved one who passes away. Go to the wedding and send a big gift. Your Rock Stars Deserve Nurturing Because They Earn It Rock stars add value beyond their own labor. Their mentality is contagious. They influence others. They change the culture, turbocharging the team and creating an environment where people want to work. The rest of your team watches how you treat these individuals. They respect the rock stars. Relationships form across the team. You need to nurture all of it. Your rock stars model the behavior you want from your other employees. They put clients first. They step across roles to solve problems. They fulfill their commitments, even at personal sacrifice. They come in early, stay late, and stick with the project until it's done. They do whatever is necessary (kind of like you). If you build your rock stars up, your firm will grow along with them.

Employees are the lifeblood of any company. They embody your company to your customers and the public, and they turn the ideas and strategies into real results. Hiring employees can be tough. But hiring the BEST employees is even harder. In this episode, Dallas and Jess talk about how to find and keep superstar employees.
