Ever had an employee who’s great at their job but completely struggles when promoted to a leadership role? We've been there too. In this episode, we’re joined by Talmar Anderson to talk about why hiring and leadership often go sideways — and what you can do to fix it.
Hiring the right people isn’t just about filling seats — it’s about building a solid team that can grow with your business. In this episode, Talmar Anderson, CEO of Boss HQ, joins us to break down the key mistakes business owners make when hiring and promoting employees. From understanding what success looks like before you even post a job ad to the importance of hiring people smarter than you, Talmar shares practical advice for building a stronger team.
We also talk about why contractors, home service providers, and small business owners need to build a “bench” of reliable contacts — and how connecting with the right people can save your business when things get tight. Plus, Talmar explains why mindset is just as crucial as strategy when managing your team.
Whether you’re hiring your first employee or managing a full crew, this episode is packed with tips to help you avoid common pitfalls and build a team that sticks.
Highlights:
- Why promoting your best employee to a leadership role might backfire.
