Tuesday’s Tips — Made a Wrong Hire

Do you have some of the wrong people still lingering around in your business that you can’t seem to let go of? You know in your gut that they’re not the right fit, but you still have a hard time pulling the trigger?

There’s nothing wrong with believing in your people, but the truth is that they’re not going to change magically. Bill worked with a CEO who kept believing in one of his employees. He kept believing that he’d ‘work out’, but years went by and it was still the same result.

Values are important within a company. If your employees are having a mismatch or aren’t aligned with your company’s core mission, then there’s going to be trouble down the road.

You might keep an underperforming employee because at least it’s ‘better than nothing’, but that’s the wrong perspective to have. The changes we make on our team are important for the business and if you want to scale!

About the Podcast

Scaling Up Business Podcast
Scaling Up Business is all about how a few companies make it...and why the rest don’t. Our podcast shows are drawn from the lessons of our coaching clients, coaching partners, and the leading authors that contribute to our Conferences and the Scaling Up best selling book by Verne Harnish, and the Team at Gazelles.

We’ll share practical tools and techniques for building an industry-dominating business. These approaches have been honed over three decades of advising tens of thousands of CEOs and executives and helping them navigate the increasing complexities that come with scaling up a venture.

We want to turn what can feel like an anchor, into the wind at your back — helping you create a business where the team is engaged; the customers are doing your marketing; and everyone is making money.

Each episode of the Scaling Up Business show focuses on one of the four major decision areas every company must get right: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash. We'll share the tools and methods that have been used by more than 40,000 firms around the globe to scale their companies successfully -- many to $1 billion and beyond.

Running a business is ultimately about freedom. The Scaling Up Business show tells leaders how to get their organizations moving in sync, to create something significant, and still enjoy the ride.
