Episode 69: Setting Expectations With New Hires

April 22, 2019 by exponentialwisdom

Peter and Dan discuss one of the biggest problems with the hiring process: most of the time, a job description doesn’t provide enough information to create a successful relationship between an employer and a new employee. In Episode 67, they shared best practices within their own companies; in this follow-up episode, Peter and Dan discuss a specific agreement that communicates expectations to a new team member.

In this episode:

  • Dan explains his dislike of team management meetings and why he developed a new tool called the 4×4. This thinking process helps you clarify and then communicate your expectations to team members.
  • Peter talks about the importance of ensuring his team loves what they are doing and feels fulfilled, while still providing the support needed to meet company objectives.
  • Dan shares a successful example of hiring a recent employee with a 4×4, and discusses how your organization can use this upfront communication tool for better results.

Episode 57: Who, Not How

August 7, 2018 by exponentialwisdom

Dan explains why entrepreneurs struggle with procrastination and introduces a new method he uses to implement new ideas.

Changing the thought process from “how to do this” to “who can do this” is a game-changer.

In this episode:

  • Peter explains using the “Who, Not How” method in his company, and why instead of creating a to-do list, he spends the year creating Impact Filters (a Strategic Coach client tool) explaining why the project is important, defining criteria for success, and then picking a point person to implement the task.
  • Dan explains why first-time entrepreneurs start with how — because at the beginning, there’s no one else to delegate to — but as time goes on and the company grows, this becomes a bad habit.
  • Peter gives an example of gaining back hundreds of hours of time, an Abundance of time, by delegating a project to his summer interns.
