System & Soul

Today on S2 Tips, we answer a listener question: What do you do when you have an employee who’s a bad fit for their seat, you don’t have anybody to fill the seat, and you don’t have an open seat to move this employee to? Do you stick with the bad fit, or do you let them go? This may seem simple and straightforward. But, for many leaders, this is one of the hardest kinds of decisions to make for your business. That’s why Chris and Benj tag team on what the right decision is, and what happens after the decision is made. This episode is brought to you by Ninety.

One of the beautiful things about being an entrepreneur or business leader is the ability to design your organization. Your organization’s design is the ultimate expression of what you get to do as an entrepreneur and leader, and it’s the essence of your organization’s contribution to the world. This week, we take a deep dive into the System & Soul model and share the key components of designing your business: structure, process, and bets. Unfamiliar with the concept of bets? Fear not! We walk through why this is a key component of your business design and give you a free PDF to help you assess the big decisions you need to make in your organization.
