Summary
Natalie Dawson is an expert in developing people and building scalable teams. I had the pleasure to chat with her about how she has interviewed, hired, trained, and led thousands of employees over the course of her career, most recently as Co-Founder and Partner of Cardone Ventures.
With no cost of capital, no outside investment, in 30 months Cardone Ventures has generated $60 million in revenue and over $30 million in EBITDA. Natalie is responsible for the operations and finding, hiring, aligning, developing and retaining the team that allows the business to scale profitably. Natalie is a #1 Amazon bestseller for her book TeamWork, which details exactly how she has built a highly engaged, highly aligned, high-performance team in order to accommodate business opportunities and growth.
This conversation is framed around leadership — both leading yourself and leading others.
In this episode we talk about:
- What it looks like to overcome imposter syndrome
- How to find your unique zone of genius
- How to lead yourself
- How to be okay with not being liked by everyone
