Hey, welcome to the $100 MBA show your business gets better with every episode.

I'm your host, your coach, your teacher Omar's at home.

I'm also the co-founder of Webinar Ninja, an independent software company I started back in 2014.

In today's episode is Q&A Wednesday.

On Q&A Wednesdays we answer a question from one of you, one of our listeners.

If you got a question you want to ask, go ahead and email me over at Omar

at 100MBA.net.

Today's question is from Gary and Gary asks,

how do I get better at holding my team accountable?

Most of my team members are great and do what they're supposed to do.

But some are falling behind. Don't hit deadlines. Or just simply space out.

How do I hold team members like that accountable? I don't want to feel like a micromanaging but at the same time I don't want to let it slide.

This is a great question from Gary because as a founder of a business as you start hiring people this is a skill you're going to need to build to hold

people accountable because when you're doing everything yourself in the beginning, you hold yourself

accountable, right? You know what to expect from yourself. But as you start hiring people, you start to realize,

wow, not everybody's like me. Some people need to be managed in different ways. And the thing about accountability

is that it's a very slippery slope. You've got to nip it in the bud

before it gets worse and I'm going to show you some strategies, some techniques that you can

use in your own business with your own own team,

without it being so confrontational,

without you feeling like you're micromanaging them,

but rather coaching them.
