The Secrets to a High-Performing Team

Your people can make or break your studio. Building a standout team is critical to protect your business. And that doesn’t just happen automatically, y’all. 

Make sure you’re firing on all cylinders in Episode 668: The Secrets to a High-Performing Team with Coaches Caroline Plambeck and Matt Hanton. 

  • Prioritize prep: draft an org chart and job descriptions with specific KPIs 
  • Recruit selectively: hire for culture and train for skill – you can’t force fit
  • Train to retain: templatize a comprehensive onboarding process
  • Touch base: create agendas for 1:1s and team meetings; invite feedback 
  • Hand out shout-outs: celebrate wins, share successes and give rewards 

It takes a thoughtful commitment and ongoing efforts to nurture a stellar team. If it feels overwhelming, start with one step, then add on. Get all the insider tips in Episode 668. 

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,
Lisé
