Then, we’ll introduce you to a few of our members of The Leadership Lab program.

So, today we’re starting with The Leadership Growth Series and chatting about one of the biggest and most painful growing pains any business owner will suffer through and dive into a prescription for your recovery.

Leading a team in one location is challenging enough. But, throw in two more locations, and you’re juggling a lot more than just your team. On episode 50 of Stacking Your Team, Shelli introduces you to our CEOCHIX Mastermind member, Nickie Janes, who manages over 30 team members across all three of her business locales.

Nickie is the Founder and President of Smooth with three locations in the Norfolk/Newport News area in Virginia. Each location offers premium wax, skin, and lash care services in its gorgeous spas.

In their discussion, Shelli and Nickie explore the everyday struggles that come with managing a large team. Nickie also reveals how she introduced a new level of executive leadership across her teams and how this decision helped her to plan for all the things required to open up a third location.

You’ll also learn how Nickie organizes, manages and trains her team across all three locations. If you have a large team or aspire to grow your team in the future, listen in to discover Nickie’s secret to stacking a team of high caliber with members who are truly an extension of her brand and her spa philosophy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to structure a team across multiple locations
• The importance of finding balance between authenticity and professionalism
• How to train your team members to become true extensions of your brand
• Attributes to look for when hiring front desk team members

There’s a fine line between being a good leader to your team and being their friend. Striking the right balance between the two is tough, especially if you manage a small team and spend a lot of time together.

You want your team members to like you. But, you also don’t want them to lose sight of you as their leader. Developing a close relationship with your team that goes above and beyond the boundaries of professionalism can jeopardize your authority.

In this episode, Shelli and Natalie discuss whether you can be both a leader and a friend to your team. They help you understand how to navigate the relationship you have with your team members, so you can find the perfect harmony between the two pillars of leadership and friendship. You’ll also discover the answers to some of your own questions that were submitted over on the private BizChix Facebook group and you’ll get to hear why and how you can be a friendly leader without blurring the lines between professional and personal.

Can CEO’s be both a friend and a leader to their team?

Let’s find out!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why every CEO should have a composite mentor
• Why leaders shouldn’t strive to be their team’s friend
• Practical strategies to help you lead your team with confidence

Leadership Lab is a small group coaching program for service based business owners who have a team of 5 or more, including remote team members. If you have a brick and mortar or if your business is online with consistent monthly revenues of $30K or more you’d fit right in; especially if you are wanting to learn how to lead better and develop people so they become high performers.

And if you are a Leadership Lab Alumni or a former 1:1 client, you’d be a fit for the Leadership Lab+ program that is an intimate group coaching program for women who want an advisory board surrounding them as they build a business of leaders. 

Both of these programs include in person retreats—a chance to meet each other in person, work together, learn together and relax together, because quality downtime and time away from your business is important.
