Summary
Starting and growing a business can't happen in a vacuum. You need supporting players to help foster your dream into a reality. But what happens when the people you brought on to grow your company decide they want to leave? Even more importantly, how can you manage their exit so it's smooth and constructive?
This scenario is very familiar in the walls of Business Made Simple as Don talks with Tim Schurrer, former Business Made Simple COO and author of The Secret Society of Success. Don and Tim discuss how they both worked through Tim's exit and how to create an environment that fosters positive, healthy exits in your business. They also discuss Tim's venture into building a personal platform and his new view on success. If you've never been sure how to constructively manage employees departures, listen in to today's conversation.
