126: Right People, Right Seat: Leveraging Your Team for Business Growth and Freedom with Nikki Lewallen Gregory
In your business, there isn’t just you. There are the people you serve (your clients or customers), but there’s also your team (colleagues or employees).
Every person on your team is a reflection of your values. So you want to make sure you have the right people serving their roles. But how can you ensure you have the right people, and what do you do when you discover someone on your team who isn’t?
My podcast guest today, Nikki Lewallen Gregory, has a principle she calls “right people, right seat.” And in this continuation of the “Business Audit to Business Awesome” miniseries, she’s here to help you discover who the right people are for your business and explore what it means to have them on your team.
If you have the right people and can effectively leverage them, you create tremendous growth and way more freedom in your business. It’s the key to opening up more time, money, and brainpower than you might have otherwise.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about this team and leadership aspect of the people component of your business and how to discover and best utilize the important attributes of your team members. Nikki will also teach you what culture code is, why it’s such a workplace gamechanger and more!
