Should I Hire a Friend? -- Live Coaching with Kris | S04E07

All business owners face this dilemma: Should I hire a friend? Of course, there is an added emotional dynamic when employing someone close to you. Those ties do require consideration. However, regardless of who you hire, consistent frameworks need to be in place. Without them, decisions and potential outcomes can become very messy. In this first installment of “Live Coaching with Kris” on my Leadership is Feminine podcast, I address the common question of employing people you know. As I coach a very successful business woman regarding this, we cover guidelines in employing people, clarifying expectations and defining roles, delegating not abdicating, and much more.  By the way, I’m very excited to add these episodes. I’m loving doing these live, anonymous coaching sessions with one of you, my listeners, recording it, and then sharing it so we can all benefit. It’s a blast! I can’t wait to share more of them with you all.  “I think I need to hire someone to support me. Not someone I’m going to support. And that was incredibly delineating for me.” – Kris Plachy What You’ll Learn Impart your vision clearly Don’t build for a specific person in mind Clarify what you need and outline the scope Define your values Delegate not abdicate Measurables Follow-through plan Timeline Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Kris Plachy Reminders:  Join Kris’ email list for valuable content by heading over to krisplachy.com and dropping your name in the signup box!
