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.

How to Build a 90-Day Operations Plan You Can Actually Execute
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most business owners have a plan. What they do not have is a plan they can actually execute.
In this episode, I break down exactly what makes a 90-day operations plan different from the annual goal-setting most business owners do and abandon by February. I walk you through the 7 elements every strong operations plan needs and take you inside one of the six modules of The Leadership Shift so you can see what a focused 90-day plan actually looks like in practice.
This is not a motivation episode. It is a build session. By the end, you will know exactly where to start.
