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.

Leveraging Operations in Leadership
Are Your Standards an Asset or a Bottleneck?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your high standards are what built your reputation. Clients trust you because they know that when something comes from you, it’s right. But what happens to those standards when you’re not in the room?
In this episode, we talk about the difference between having high standards and having undocumented standards and why the second one keeps you trapped as the bottleneck in your own business.
If you’ve ever found yourself redoing work, reviewing everything before it goes out, or struggling to hand things off because ‘no one does it like me this episode is for you.
