0:00.0 | If you think about it, people are like Plato when you first hire them. You can mold them. |
0:04.6 | You can kind of tell them what to do, what not to do, what their expectations are, when they |
0:07.6 | should work, when they shouldn't. And they're pretty eager. They're eager to please and they'll do |
0:10.9 | what it takes. But after, you know, three or four months, they'll harden. And those expectations |
0:16.2 | are set. And it's 10 times harder to reset those expectations after the fact. And so you have this unique window of time, this unique opportunity in the beginning of, you know, a new recruit coming on to set those expectations. |

1:06.0 | Here's what you need to update for us to be able to know if you're hitting your numbers. |
1:09.3 | Here's the responsibilities that you need to basically take care of when shit hits the fan. Here's the |
1:14.2 | stuff that you don't need to take care of. Like that type of clarity allows someone to be a |
1:18.1 | functional member of the organization. But when you don't set any of those expectations, |
1:22.6 | they'll set their own. Welcome to the home service expert where each week, Tommy chats with world-class entrepreneurs and experts in various fields, like marketing, sales, hiring, and leadership, to find out what's really behind their success in business. |
