When you set out to pursue your CPA, being an amazing manager of people was probably not in your crosshairs. 

Yet, as your firm grows, the need to become an effective manager of people becomes readily apparent. 

If you’re not an effective manager of people, one can get bogged down in staff-related headaches, pulling the focus away from working on the business. 

Here today to talk with me about better managing your team, is my guest, Kris Plachy. 

Kris is THE Thought Leader and Expert for Female Entrepreneurs. She has poured her life’s work into teaching them how to lead a team. In a space where there is a lot of ‘noise’ and advice, Kris has designed the ‘how to’ of team leadership through her How to CEO for Female Entrepreneurs™ program. She knows without a doubt, there is no challenge you are facing as a leader that she can’t help you solve.

Highlights:

— “You don't evolve and develop leadership and management prowess, if you don't understand the mind of a team member.”

— “The world of work has radically changed in the last two years. If you aren't paying attention to that, you're gonna really struggle to find top talent.”

— “If you're having repetitive problems with same kind of employee, that's just an indication that you have some things you need to work on to make better decisions on who you hire, and have better practices on how you lead and manage.”

— “What's essential in delegation is telling people what success looks like as clearly as you can.”

— “If you're the owner of a business and you can't hold people accountable, you are rudderless. You are operating at the whim of other people's brains, and it will make you nuts.”

— “We want to have a culture of accountability, which means that when you say you're going to deliver something, you do.”
