This week Kerri Salis and her podcast 3X Value Growth interview me for a change on How to lead a Multi-generational team – ensuring they turn up for work tomorrow. What we’re looking for is a team leader who goes, ‘Okay, I’m actually going to be vulnerable in the workplace. I’m going to show the actions and behaviours that are behind the values and the vision of my business, or the business that I work for. And then I will trust my team, and I will show them how we can do things together.’ Not just being that micromanager or demanding from their point of authority.

You’ve put the hard yards in growing your business, hiring a team, developing a product and/or service that has customers coming to you but do you ever feel that you could be doing more, you hear rumblings from customers about lack of consistency, sales flat lining, frequency of long term customers purchasing down? There are four keys to business success when you have a team who are representing you and your brand: Recruiting, resourcing, training and measuring.  A continual circle of long term growth and business success. In this podcast I share with you the turn key tool and the wisdom of my business success and the success of my clients that will ensure your success and long term business growth.
