Welcome to episode 10. Are you happy wearing the hat that says ‘leader’? Not everyone is and that’s ok, but it’s a fact of life that we are occasionally called upon to take on the role, despite our possible aversion to it. In this episode we look at why your businesses needs good leadership; what makes a good leader and how you can evaluate your effectiveness as the leader of your business by keeping an eye on your team retention.

Main points:

Are your own stereotypes holding you back from being a good leader?
How creating healthy boundaries and expectations of your team is the foundation of good leadership.
How staff retention can be a good indicator of how you’re doing.

Being The Boss |The No Bullsh*t Guide being the best boss

Welcome to episode 9. We’re back to business this week and I’m asking you a question - what type of boss are you? Many people set out to work for themselves after negative experiences working for a someone who treated them badly. Of course, self-employment brings many freedoms but I’ve seen many people get stuck in a downward spiral of resentment and demotivation because of the way they treat themselves as the boss of their own business. In this episode I share some key questions you should be asking yourself to ensure sustainable and long-term performance.

Main points:

I’ll be asking, now you work for yourself, are you your own dream boss - to yourself and your team?
How creating an ‘employee handbook’ for yourself is actually a brilliant idea and NOT just an excuse to buy new stationary!
Why rewarding yourself and celebrating your wins is SO important.
How modelling good self-management before you take on team members will filter into your team when the time is right, with nothing but good results.

Team Management | The No Bullsh*t Guide to Managing a Team

Welcome to episode 11. This week we’re talking all things team management. If you find yourself questioning your team’s passion, drive and commitment you need to take a step back and focus on a few key truths. Everyone is different and you can’t expect your team to match your drive for your business – it isn’t possible and actually, it isn’t fair. What you CAN do is motivate them as much as possible by setting clear expectations, rewards and consequences for when things go wrong. In this episode I highlight the exact things you need to implement to have a happy and motivated team, no matter what size it is.

Main points:

Understanding what motivates your individual team members will unlock their productivity (spoiler alert – it’s different for everyone).
Having clear expectations and rewards will help you team perform better – especially the rewards!
Why rewarding yourself as the business owner is often overlooked and why you should start doing it now.
Being crystal clear on your business values from the start and communicating them to your team is the foundation of all good team management.
