When you have one employee who’s bringing your company’s performance down, the impact on the team is very noticeable. Here’s why that one person is standing between you and total magic.

What you'll learn from this episode:

1. Once you remove the negative energy from your business and brain you create all kinds of space for something new.
2. If that person hasn’t grown with the business, they’re almost like a memory of who you were when you started, and that’s not who you are today. It keeps you stuck energetically.
3. When you let that person go and create room in your business, then you can get intentional about what you want to create and the results you want to achieve.
4. You have to learn the processes to follow, the words to say, the conversations to have in order to foster the change necessary to get you where you need to be.

The only way to learn things you don’t know, and to gain an understanding of them, is to be willing to tolerate and sit with discomfort. It doesn’t mean you have to agree. It means you have the opportunity to listen, to stretch and to grow.

What you'll find in this episode:

1. Why it’s so important to get out of the echo chamber.
2. Pay attention to how you feel. If someone introduces you to something and you feel repulsed, indignant, angry, resentful – pay attention.
3. Find new teachers, thought leaders and discussion groups.

Who do you want to be as a leader? When your presence is unfelt, someone else’s will be, and they will control the message and direction of your business. You have a voice whether you’re aware of it or not. So my recommendation is - let’s be aware of it.

What you'll find in this episode:

1. Why having a clear sense of direction for your company and what you want to achieve is essential.
2. The heart of the voice is that it has a line to it. It creates clarity.
3. You must be willing to have the consequences and the benefits of that voice.
4. When your presence is unfelt, someone else’s will be.
5. If someone doesn’t want to align to your voice and your vision for your business, let them go.
6. My thoughts for myself as it relates to my voice.

High-performing leaders with high-performing teams are able to replicate that over and over again. That’s not luck; that’s a system, and here are the elements of that system for building high-performing teams.

What you'll find in this episode:

1. As a leader, you have to have your own expectations of high performance.
2. You have to be self-aware. You have to understand who you are and how you affect the team.
3. Recognize that there is a process to attracting great talent. You must be clear with what you expect of people who work for you. Additionally, there’s the accountability piece – you have to take ownership.
4. Think about what you do and why you hire the people that you hire. You have to be building a team for where you’re going and not for where you’ve been.
5. A high-performing team attracts high-performing players. This requires a leader who is willing to audit her team and trim it when necessary.
