Many entrepreneurs mistakenly believe that hiring more hands will alleviate their overwhelm, but this often leads to more management responsibilities. Instead, hiring strategic thinkers who can manage processes and make decisions is essential for business growth. Steff emphasizes the importance of finding the right balance between task execution and strategic direction to effectively lead a team and scale a business.00:00 Hiring for Hands vs. Hiring for Brains02:45 Understanding the Balance of Team Rolesentrepreneurship, hiring, business growth, virtual assistants, operational management, team dynamics, productivity, decision making, strategic support, scaling businessDon't forget to give us a follow on InstagramCheck out our websiteEmail us if you'd like to be interviewed on a future episode, or have a topic suggestion you'd like us to cover:[email protected] If you'd like to find out more about The Streamline Suite, and which areas of our services you and your business could benefit from, please email us at [email protected] InstagramFacebookWebsite
