Elzie and Jan Cavelle discuss the importance of investing in training and quality people as a business grows. They emphasize the need for leaders to do what is best for the business, even if it means making tough decisions. They also talk about the difficulties of growing a business and needing to let go of employees who were with the company from the beginning, how hard it is to have that conversation, and what would need to be done for it to happen smoothly.
Having leaders who are knowledgeable and invested in their employees’ well-being will ensure that they put their best foot forward into any project they may undertake. Besides setting an example, these leaders should communicate effectively with their staff so that everyone feels heard and valued. Furthermore, providing employees with appropriate resources like technology or well-structured learning opportunities can help drive success within a company.
Episode Highlight
00:56 – I think I didn’t invest in the right quality people. There comes a time when you grow that you need some people who ideally are better than you, who are going to drive the business forward. I had people who’d been working for me and I thought, “They’re lovely people. They’ve been here since the beginning.”
