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.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most small business owners ask one question before investing in their business: Can I afford this? But that is the wrong starting point. Not investing has a cost too, and most founders never stop to calculate it.

You will learn:
- Why vision clarity has to come before any investment decision
- The 4 signs it is time to stop waiting and invest: staying competitive in your industry, underdeveloped critical functions, resources you have already identified, and operating beyond sustainable capacity
