About This Episode

In this special episode, BELAY CEO Tricia Sciortino joins The EntreLeadership Podcast, where she talks with their host George Kamel about how finding a high-performing assistant who thinks like a leader can help business owners take back their time and focus.

The conversation was so enlightening that the One Next Step team wanted their listeners to hear the original interview with audio generously provided by The EntreLeadership Podcast.

1. One of your core values should be to love what you do for a living.

Too many people dread Mondays. But what if you could find a job that you looked forward to going to on Sunday evening? The Great Resignation has given people time to reflect and really think about what they want. They’re thinking more about what they value and looking for work that reflects that.

2. Provide clear expectations to your team members.

They should know what their KRA is and what their expectations are – how to move up to the next position or get the salary increase. They should never be surprised.

3. To avoid micromanaging, ask the question: Do you want my support and help, or are you good?

Let the team decide where they want you involved. They might say they need to bounce something off you, or they might say they don’t need your help. Otherwise, you should only get involved in areas where there might be a red flag.

Have you seen any effect from The Great Resignation in your team/company?
What is one way you keep your team members engaged?
What type of KRAs and job expectations do you provide to your team members?
What are some ways your leaders have invested in you in the past?
