KEY TAKEAWAYS
You have to recruit people who are smarter than you.
Set your team members up for success, let them fly, but have the right checks and balances in place.
You need to protect your team, to sometimes act as a buffer.
Using psychometric profiling tools can be highly beneficial. In the episode, Jeannette explains how she uses them.
If you think that you might want to sell your business, at some stage, set it up with that in mind.
If you want to exit your business, in the future, you need a formidable team in place to be able to do that.
Publishing consistently is a big part of making a podcast successful.
Be clear about what you want to do, work backwards to determine how to get there, set a timeframe and take the necessary action.
Remember that work is not always the most important thing in their life. Be there to help them and form personal bonds with your team. People don't remember what you say, they remember how you make them feel.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I really genuinely loved all of the roles that I have done. ´
‘Having a coach at that point was really helpful for me, because... I was stepping up into a totally different world.’
‘Be bold. I think what's the point of doing anything if you are not going to make the biggest impact?’
