Quotes:
“If you bring someone on, and they don't have a playbook, you are not bringing on a manager you are bringing on a co-owner.” [Nick, 11:17]
“Give your instructors a career. Give your manager a career. The more invested they can be in your business, the better work they are going to do. If they’re managing four jobs and you’re just one of them, it’s going to feel like it’s their fourth job.” [Nick, 13:04]
“Some people are phenomenal followers/assistants, and the second you put them into a management position or role they will crumble, because it is not who they are, it’s not how they operate, it’s not where they thrive.” [Megan, 14:58]
