Leveraging Operations in Leadership
Most small business leaders are great at what they do but nobody taught them how to build a team around it.
Leveraging Operations in Leadership is the podcast for entrepreneurs and small business leaders navigating the shift from solopreneur to team. Hosted by Tonya D. Harrison, Founder of Cignal Partners, each episode blends practical leadership development with the operational systems you need to grow a small team sustainably without burnout or overwhelm.
Whether you're hiring your first employee or learning to delegate as a business owner with a growing team, you'll learn how to:
• Strengthen your decision-making and leadership systems
• Improve team communication, accountability, and performance
• Build business operations that reflect your values and scale with your vision
Great leadership starts with values but it's sustained through systems.
