Summary

Team building, structuring our business to scale, and planning in order to have the best end deliverable to our client/customer isn't always simple. How do you know when it is time to outsource what is causing a bottleneck in your business? When is it time to let go of an underperforming team member? Is it about having a strong leader or a strong team? In this episode we get into a rather "lively discussion" about it all! We unpack.

- Smaller teams vs. larger teams ( in number ) and if it is necessary to build an empire.

- Virtual Assistants : why they fit for some business models and not so much for others.

- The mix of great leadership and a team's willingness to to learn and implement new skills on a high level.

- Weak link dynamics on an underperforming team vs. a leaders inability to invest in their own personal development.

- If leaders have the power to inspire greatness in their team members or if team members should have an inherent desire to grown and learn.

and so much more!

0:00.0	you can't say that everything rises and falls on leadership and we're putting all the rising and
0:05.6	falling on the weakest link. We're not putting all of the rising and falling on the weakest link.
0:11.2	We are saying that everything rises and falls on leadership is true. A team is always strong as
0:16.3	the weakest link. The team is only strong. You think about it. Everything operates around the team.
0:22.2	You get on team calls. You have this issue. This person don't like this person. So I'm not doing
0:26.4	they're not doing their job and this person's not doing their job because we don't mesh well
0:30.5	and now nothing's getting done. I'm not sending that because she didn't do that and the team is weak
0:35.6	and until you as the leader make a decision, the decision still has to come to replace it and
0:40.1	that has to come from a leader. But the team right now is weak. But the team kept the team kept
0:48.6	growing because from a leadership position, I have to manage the chaos. You do but do you want to do
0:55.6	that? Nope. But nobody. It's not here's the thing. Nobody's weak. There's an issue that needs
1:00.4	to be handled. Nobody's weak. But until that issue with the team is handled, the team is not
1:07.3	operating at maximum performance. Of course not. Yeah. Even at our best when everything's clicking.
1:14.0	I said something. I was scared. It's going to win. Who's winning? Yeah. That one point doesn't make
1:19.8	you win. Who's winning? My thing is my thing is my thing is there's always going to be
1:25.5	issues and there isn't. I don't think a team ever operates at its highest potential. There's always
1:33.1	going to be issues, but it's going to be it's going to be on the leader's shoulders to make sure
1:38.1	the issues get handled and taken care of and manage. And three, two, one.
