Speaker 2: delegate tasks, empower your team, and focus on high leverage
Speaker 2: activities that drive strategy and growth. Number two is have
Speaker 2: tough accountability conversations. So avoiding accountability conversations creates confusion and

Speaker 2: issues head on. You have to build a culture of
Speaker 2: accountability by making these discussions of routine part of your leadership.
Speaker 2: Number three, Hire a highly experienced operational manager because you
Speaker 2: can't do it all to scale your organization. You need
Speaker 2: a strong operational manager to handle the details, freeing you

Speaker 2: culture creates an environment where a new talent can integrate seamlessly,
Speaker 2: keeping your team aligned as you grow. Number six is

Speaker 2: Use data. Leverage key performance indicators or KPIs in scorecards
Speaker 2: to make informed decisions, track progress and adapt quickly. Successful
Speaker 2: leaders balance intuition with evidence. The last one on this
Speaker 2: list is to build a strong personal network. So your
