We mean it when we say it: your team can make or break you! In today’s episode, I sit down with Kristy Yoder, founder and CEO of Smart VAs and host of The Master Delegator Podcast, to explore smart leadership, hiring, and delegation. We discuss why aligning your team with core values is essential and how character often outweighs skillset. Kristy also shares actionable tips, including the use of probationary periods, and revealed her unique hiring strategy to help you focus on revenue-generating tasks while delegating the rest.
Tune in to hear:
- The importance of character over skillset - skills can be taught, but honesty and integrity are essential for long-term success
- Delegating tasks to focus on growth by trusting a right-hand person to manage key aspects of your business
- Tips for clear communication - from Slack and WhatsApp to regular meetings
- The value of setting a three-month probation period with monthly reviews to ensure new hires align with your business vision
