012. Growing Unicorns: How to Create High Performance Successors

🎧🎙️ Exciting news! In the latest episode of The Chad James Show, I dive into the topic of "Growing Unicorns: How to Create High Performance Successors." 🦄💪

In this episode, I explore the concept of replacing oneself as the primary technician in a business. I emphasize the importance of not just finding good help, but actually growing great help.

🌱 Here are 3 key takeaways from the episode:

1️⃣ The Lazy Man's Way vs. the Effective Way: While finding great people may seem appealing and easy, it often yields limited results. Instead, focus on the harder but more effective task of growing great people within your organization. It takes time, patience, and a high tolerance for imperfection.

2️⃣ The Apprenticeship Model: I share a simple leadership development model called the Apprenticeship Model. Through five steps - I do, you watch; I do, you help; you do, I help; you do, I watch; you do, someone else watches - you can empower employees to learn, grow, and eventually take over tasks previously done by the owner.

3️⃣ Results Take Time: Patience and tolerance are crucial in this process. Replacing yourself with a highly qualified and motivated successor won't happen overnight, but by implementing the Apprenticeship Model and investing time in growing your employees, you'll eventually see the results you desire.

👂Tune in to the episode to learn more about the practical steps you can take to create high-performance successors in your business. Don't miss out on this valuable insight! Listen now and take your company to the next level. 🚀💼
