The People Growth Zone incorporates how you hire people, train them, motivate them and even how you make the decision when it’s the right time to grow or shrink your team.
It also relates to your extended team – consultants, designers, copywriters – your book keeper – all the people that support you in getting things done and whom you need to lead and motivate.
Leadership was a challenge for me – I didn’t know how to manage well and I found it hard to let go and I also was not confident managing people older than myself having difficult conversations and taking on the role of leader.
I remember the fourth time I had to hire a receptionist that didn’t work out — I had to look at the one common denominator – ME! I had to look at my communication, my leadership, our training and our systems.
I developed a system on ‘how we do things here’ and this was the start of our operations manual.
Then everything go systemised so that training was easier. At the height of our growth as we were bring on staff we got out of control – we had to bring in systems for management reporting etc, we had to bring in a layer of staff between me and the more junior staff as I was managing too many direct reports.
And you may have experienced some of these challenges in your business as well. Or perhaps you are on the brink of hiring a team and you want to know how to avoid the heartache and expense that can come when you don’t get this right.
Because you can’t do everything yourself. You do need to bring a great team around you, whether that’s full time staff or a mix of part time staff or virtual assistants. Even your team of contractors and suppliers need to be managed.
