She has architected and delivered onboarding programs for companies ranging in growth from one to 100+ people per quarter, in just one office to over 13 global offices, and for fully on-site to fully remote teams. Gallagher frequently speaks and writes on the topics of onboarding, change management, and team communication. “The very next time that you have a new hire joining your company, you actually asked them to pay attention to what’s missing, and have them create a list of what kinds of information and knowledge they needed, or wish that they had to make their onboarding better. And then you use that new hire to write that documentation or to gather that from subject matter experts.” – Kristen Gallagher Why you have to check out today’s podcast: Discover why it is important to have an onboarding system that scales with you and cuts time to productivity in half - for every level of your business Learn the importance of investing in helping managers be better people leaders through targeted development Know how to ease your onboarding pains if you're tired of scrambling to onboard your new hires, struggling with the same-old, same-old management challenges, and looking to galvanize your team so they can meet the vision through the help of Edify Learn More about the 3X Value Growth™ Model Go to Episode Takeaway: How do Kristen Gallagher help managers onboard better? “The reason I think that that’s the most important question in onboarding, actually is that if a manager isn’t on-boarded well, then they are not going to be able to onboard the rest of their team well, and they’re not going to be able to manage their team well. And the answer to that question, how should I manage the onboarding of my own managers better, is by going around to the rest of the managers in your company, similar to the tip I offered with new hires, figuring out what they needed when they got started. Making that checklist for yourself. And then as you think about the kinds of tacit knowledge, the things that are in your head as a business owner, what kinds of things does the manager not know that you know about the ropes, say, learning the ropes part. And write those things into the checklist as well. So, I think that’s a really important question and a pretty easy answer as well.” – Kristen Gallagher Resources|Links Link: Connect with Kristen Gallagher: Website: Twitter: Pinterest:

How do you ensure you get the right price? And more… Learn More about the 3X Value Growth™ Model Go to Episode Takeaway: How do you value a business according to Clinton Lee Many business owners want to start with the value. They want to have a figure there, it makes them feel comfortable, it gives them some sort of reassurance. But I believe it’s completely the wrong thing to do. Because what you’re coming up with is a theoretical number, and buyers don’t care about that. Your efforts should be much better directed towards information influencing the kinds of things that buyers use to come to their value decisions. What matters is how much the buyer thinks you’re worth, not how much your value or thinks you are worth. or your accountant thinks you’re worth, how much your buyer thinks. Getting the right kind of buyers, getting the strategic buyers in, or are going to compete with other buyers on the transaction. Have somebody, a broker who will manage the whole process and get build some competitive tension. So, it’s about putting effort into finding the right buyers into finding well-funded buyers, finding strategic buyers who’re going to see more value in your business than other buyers, essentially. Create the conditions for them to open up their wallets and pay you the kind of money you’d like to see. Work on that rather than on obsessing about how much your business is worth. .

Interview with Meridith Elliott Powell : Turning Uncertainty to Competitive Advantage
Voted One of The Top 15 Business Growth Experts To Watch, a Top Sales Expert on LINKEDIN and one of the Top 41 Motivational Speakers, Meridith Elliott Powell is an award-winning author, keynote speaker. In this episode, Meredith shares how she helps clients learn the strategies they need to succeed, no matter what the marketplace does turning uncertainty to competitive advantage. “Get your team together, sit around and brainstorm. Get yourself outside of your business and think about the things that are happening. Because when you do that, you free yourself up to start to see the changes that are coming, you start to see the things that you can go ahead and change now.” –Meridith Elliott Powell Why you have to check out today’s podcast: Discover how to shift your paradigm about uncertainty and see it as an opportunity Learn how do you figure out what path or what direction to take when you're not really sure what's going to happen Understand why it is important as a business leader to zoom out, look 360 rather than staying firefighting in your business Learn More about the 3X Value Growth™ Model Go to Episode Takeaway: The common mistakes Meredith sees leaders make within their organization Still trying to compete on product or service. And so, there’s no product or service that you make in today’s marketplace that your competitor can’t make, wouldn’t make, or doesn’t make. So that’s not what’s differentiating you in the marketplace, it’s the experience in your reputation. So, the first mistake is still trying to compete on a product or service and not really realizing how important the customer experience is. Still outsourcing employee engagement and culture to human resources. I mean, now, the most important thing you have is the team you surround yourself with and the most successful companies I see, that’s become the job of the CEO. And the last and probably one of the most important is the fact that the biggest mistake even though we know change is coming, they still are sitting and waiting for change to happen rather than anticipating, creating scenarios, and really planning for change before it comes. .

And Stybel Peabody which provides retained search for Board members, CEOs, COOs, and CFOs. Larry and his partner write monthly perspectives on leadership for PSYCHOLOGY TODAY. He also is an executive in residence at Lexington Search Fund Capital. In this episode, Larry shares how he helps companies hire competent leaders through customized, and pragmatic approaches to leadership change. "The biggest mistake that I see is, hiring authorities spend too much time focusing on the right functional or technical skills at the expense of culture fit." – Larry Stybel Why you have to check out today’s podcast: Discover why determining “culture fit” is so important in the hiring process Learn why companies hire so many incompetent leaders Confidence and competence, learn why they are not the same in terms of hiring Learn More about the 3X Value Growth™ Model Go to Episode Takeaway: Why do people hire so many incompetent leaders? Competence and confidence are not the same things. A lot of particularly male candidates come in exuding confidence. People start confusing confidence with competence. If somebody has competence, you want to test for it. You want to check references for it. But don’t assume competence based on someone’s confidence, two separate things. Women express confidence differently than men. And it works to the disadvantage of women. So, if you’re looking to hire really great women on your team, understand that you have a male candidate and you have a woman candidate. You need to understand men and women don’t think the same. And men and women don’t express their level of confidence in the same way, and just understand that. . Resources|Links Link: Connect with Larry Stybel: LinkedIn: Website: Twitter: Facebook:
