On the Up and Up Ep. 5 Employee vs Contractor Mindset With Jordan King
This week we are lucky enough to feature Jordan King, who generously shares her knowledge as a serial entrepreneur.
This episode is not about deciding who to hire, but rather about understanding the mindset of the individuals you bring onto your team in order to place them in the appropriate role, even if it is not currently available in your company.
In today's episode, we cover:
- Professionalism & communication is key in expediting success in this process.
- Business leadership is a combination of natural abilities and learned skills.
- As a leader, it's important to have a deeper level of understanding of your team members in order to get the best results from them and balance that with the culture of your business.
- Firing or not retaining an employee is not always the worst thing for your team. In fact, the negative impact can be exponentially higher when a person is trying to fit into a role that isn't best for them, their skill sets, or their overall goals.
- We discuss the mindset differences between employees and entrepreneurs and how leaders can learn to identify these differences and manage their team members into the best fit for them.
Tune in next week as we cover approaching difficult conversations.
