What happens when a fast-moving entrepreneur skips clarity and hires quickly? This week on Bad Boss Confessional, EOS Implementer Beth Fahey welcomes Drew Spurgers to unpack a hilariously painful hiring misstep, the chaos it created, and how clear communication (or lack thereof) can make or break your team. From titles that confuse to sales goals that actually work, Drew shares hard-won lessons about leadership, trust, and the power of saying exactly what you mean. This is your crash course in what not to do (and how to turn it around), with a reminder that clarity isn’t optional!
