Key points we talk about include: The fundamental elements of ghSMART’s own scaling success The four step A Framework for optimal hiring to increase your probability of success from 50% to 90% Hiring mistakes to avoid How best to structure the conversations so that everyone can benefit from your scaling success Three characteristics of high performing teams Four traits of great leaders Key Takeaway “Scaling with purpose is about aspiring to build a business that matters and has a net positive effect on the world. Great businesses are founded under the premise that helps someone solve a real need or problem. It is about building a business that has a big impact on others. Scaling a business without purpose would be blindly trying to make the revenue and profits go up without much regard for those who benefit.” Contact Geoff LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drgeoffsmart/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/GeoffreySmart Email: https://ghsmart.com/ Buy the book  Who: The A Method for Hiring Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/3NYXx6k  Amazon.com:  https://amzn.to/3NXsHee  Power Score: Your Formula for Leadership Success Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/3DY8Vuv Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/3jk2vMP Book Recommendations Time Smart: How to Reclaim Your Time and Live a Happier Life Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/3NRTQPA  Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/38rJe9R  The CEO Next Door: The 4 Behaviors that Transform Ordinary People into World-Class Leaders Amazon.co.uk: https://amzn.to/3Jox8eE Amazon.com: https://amzn.to/3KuJYJq  Simple Scaling book Check out our book, an Amazon Best-Seller: Simple Scaling: 10 Proven Principles to 10X Your Business  About the Host    Director and Founder of Simple Scaling, Brendan brings 25 years’ experience of scaling businesses.
