The Biz Doctor Lauren Goldstein

Do you have someone in your team who is a rockstar and you keep going back and forth on if you should promote them to a leadership position or not?

Weighing the pros and cons while also secretly worrying that you might be promoting a high-performing team member to their detriment?

Well, you aren’t alone and this is the very subject. We’re going to dive into it today.
Welcome back to The Biz Doctor Podcast, with your host Lauren Goldstein.

Today we’ll talk about how you can internally promote someone the right way to ensure more success, team harmony, and effectiveness.

Key takeaways:
This is the three-part question you ask anyone before I even consider promoting them into leadership. Spoiler, if they answer no to any part, they get to stay where they are for the time being.Don’t make their job security a factor if they say no. Allow them to accept or reject the promotion without fear.Have them go through a set interview process, similar to if they were an outside applicant to make sure they really are the one for the role.

Did you know that over 80% of business owners don’t have a plan for when they exit their business and 98% don’t even know the value of their business?

Here’s the real kicker though, EVERYBODY, and that means even you listening, exits their business at some point; it just may not be on your terms…. Some exit on purpose and some exit because of the 5 Ds: death, disability, divorce, distress, or disagreement.

Welcome back to The Biz Doctor podcast, and join your host Lauren Goldstein and guest Sarah Goodman to help make sure that you and your business are not part of those statistics and have a fighting chance to truly make an impact and meaningful exit when you want to.

Key takeaways:
Exit Planning - Every owner will exit, but very few have an exit plan.Exit Readiness - Those that plan have greater odds of success and better outcomes.M&A Overview - To achieve best outcomes, the process can take 1-3 years, and includes some tax and financial planning. You can't start too early, but you can start too late.
