Last month we discussed the importance of having focus as leaders and how to avoid being in reaction mode — firefighting as we bounce from one challenge to the next while still attempting to pay attention to the things that will grow the business.
This month I want to share a few key things we see as mistakes when onboarding and training new leaders in contracting businesses. Many of us are back in full-speed-ahead growth mode now and, of course, we need to train people to help us continue to grow. Many of our clients are in the process of promoting or hiring new leaders to take over a second tier of leadership in their companies.
