Ever wondered what managers don't usually talk about when it comes to hiring and firing? 🤔

Well, you're about to find out.

In this episode, Joei opens up about her journey of hiring and firing her way to building the dream team. It hasn’t always been easy, and she shares 3 main takeaways she’d love to pass on so that you don’t have to repeat her mistakes.

1. Define strategy BEFORE you hire. 🌟 Hiring for unfamiliar scopes can be tricky. It’s essential to align on the strategy and employee profile you need before you get the new hire in the door. No intention = no results.
2. Embrace failure without fear. 😱 We've all been there—feeling the pressure to prove ourselves as managers. Joei learned the hard way that rushing into hiring decisions with too much optimism can lead to disappointment. It's important to have open communication with your boss and align on evaluation criteria before hiring.
3. Define success and protect your team. 🛡️ Aligning with your boss on evaluation criteria helps avoid misunderstandings and miscommunication later on. There are moments when we need to have those necessary but tough conversations with our team and our boss. Being a great leader means protecting your team while maintaining honesty and transparency.

Whether you're a seasoned manager, just starting out or simply curious about the behind-the-scenes of leadership, you're in for a treat as Joei lays it all out on the table.
