Business Operations Audit: Increase Efficiency Before Increasing Headcount
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you actually ready for a new hire, or are you just tired?
In this episode, we challenge the "hiring reflex" that often leads to leadership burnout. Scaling a team into a broken system doesn't create capacity; it creates an expensive management nightmare.
We walk through the "Pre-Hire Audit," a tactical diagnostic to help you determine if your bottleneck is a lack of people or a lack of precision.
Learn how to identify Operational Drag and use the "Hierarchy of Leverage" to build a high-performance team without the premature payroll.
