Some years ago you may have had to convince people that content marketing was useful, or even more importantly, that they might need it for their own businesses. That’s not the case anymore.

Change is hard in life in general, but particularly so when you’re moving to a new way of managing your company and executive team. Some will not buy into the changes and find their way to the exit, others may resist and not actively support the new system.

While hiring is one of the most important parts of running any business, the truth is that many companies are not intentional about hiring. They don’t have calibrated questions that relate to company culture. They don’t use an assessment. They don’t have interviewing skills.

That’s why it’s my great pleasure to welcome Beth Miller to this episode of Mads ...

Many leaders in this time, especially new ones, fall into the trap of thinking that they have to be the ones doing everything, "running the show," dispensing good advice right and left.
