The Leader Within: Cultivating Self-Leadership in Your Online Agency Team

02/16/24 • 15 min

In this week's episode of the How She Did That podcast, I’m sharing how to cultivate self-leadership within your online agency team. I am a firm believer that every single member of your team, no matter their role, is a leader in their own right and it is my responsibility as CEO to help them develop those skills! By supporting them in seeing themselves as leaders and providing opportunities for growth, you can foster a culture of ownership, dedication and excellence within your company.

In this episode, I share how you can inspire the same leadership and autonomy in your own team:

Leadership is an Action: Leadership is about behaviors that align collective direction and execute strategic plans. It's something you do, not just who you are.
Encourage Solution-Focused Approaches: Team members should bring solutions, not just problems. This fosters a proactive mindset and encourages strategic thinking.
Ask for Their Input: Instead of always providing answers, ask your team members what they think. This empowers them to contribute their ideas and take ownership of their work.
Utilize the "Ask Three, Then Me" Philosophy: Encourage team members to seek answers and solutions from multiple sources before coming to you. This helps them use their resources and become more independent.
Implement a Tech Triple Check: This process ensures quality control and reminds team members to take responsibility for their work before it reaches the client.
Promote Ownership and Responsibility: Allow team members to own their successes and failures. This includes letting them address their mistakes directly with clients, which is a powerful learning experience.
Support Their Growth Outside of Your Direct Influence: Provide opportunities for professional development, such as coaching, courses, or stipends for books and conventions.

From Chaos to Clarity: Revamping Leadership Team Meetings for Success

In this week's episode of the How She Did That podcast, I dive into the transformative changes we've made to our leadership team meetings to enhance productivity and maintain focus on our business goals. As a high quick start business owner with unmedicated ADHD, I found that our previous approach led to chaos and a lack of direction. We'd start the year with a strategic plan, only to lose sight of it as time went on.

To combat this, we've implemented a new structure for our weekly leadership meetings, ensuring we stay aligned with our goals and can adjust our strategies in real-time.

In this week's episode I'm sharing:

A breakdown of our revamped leadership meeting agenda.
What key performance indicators (KPIs) and other metrics we review at the start of every meeting and why.
The crucial question my team asks me every week that keeps me from being the bottleneck and avoiding CEO overwhelm.

By sharing this behind-the-scenes look at our leadership meetings, I hope to inspire other agency owners to refine their processes and create a business they love.
