Building a High-Performing Dream Team For Your Business (EP 81)

If you’ve ever struggled with hiring or leading your team, or worse, felt a twinge of guilt about keeping a team member who’s no longer contributing at their best and struggling to pull the trigger on letting them go— then this episode of The Biz Doctor Podcast is exactly what you need.

Lauren Goldstein, aka The Biz Doctor, is here to help you build your high-performing dream team. She shares why holding onto “coasters” can hurt your team (and your business), the hard truth about what it takes to lead a successful team, and how to turn your roster into a truly high-performing team.

In this episode we cover:

• Recognizing When to Let Go: How to objectively evaluate if a team member is still aligned with your business goals, and if not, how to let them go.  Spoiler alert: parting ways can often benefit both your business and the individual.
• Crafting Your Vision and Building an A-Team: Tips on setting a clear vision and using the Golden Key Scorecard to ensure your team has the clarity to be successful and your have the right butts in the right seats
• Adopting a Dream Team Mindset: Why thinking of your team as high performers on a sports team, rather than family, encourages growth, accountability, and ultimately more success for everyone.
