464. How To Grow Your Business Without Sucking At It
Tersh speaks with Claire Chandler about growing his business at a rapid speed without collapsing due to the speed of his growth. They also speak about Claire's book called "The Whirlpool Effect"... btw, the back story of the book's naming is enough of a golden nugget that it could have been the entire episode's interview topic! Working with many diverse startups and corporations over the last 25 years, Claire experienced that most companies fall apart once they start to scale. As a solution to this business timebomb, she created the 'Whirlpool Effect' - a revolutionary way to align your leaders and teams around a unifying vision that attracts, retains and motivates the right talent to achieve your mission. Claire's simple yet powerful process is helping many companies find and fix bottlenecks that are choking their business performance so they can rapidly scale without the growing pains. It's time to grow into the leader your people can't wait to follow. Check out the impressive list of topics Claire's book covers: Stop bleeding talent (and why it has little to do with the hiring process) Scale without losing your intimate company culture Remove the invisible wall between your HR and Leadership team Bottle up your founder's personality so it stays alive during company growth Become a magnetic leader by implementing the 'FLOW' process Stop acting like a startup and expand without falling apart Learn more from Claire by visiting www.ClaireChandler.net Service Business Mastery Podcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tershblissett/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tershblissett/support
