324. Was It A Bad Hire...Or Just Bad Onboarding?

Hiring someone in your design business should make things easier… but sometimes it does the opposite. Tasks get misunderstood. Expectations feel unclear. And before long you're wondering if you made a bad hire. But what if the problem wasn't the person you hired? In this episode, I'm sharing why many hires fail in small design firms and how a simple 30-60-90 day onboarding plan can completely change the outcome. I walk through how to structure the first 90 days, define success clearly, and create an onboarding process that builds confidence for both you and your new team member. If you've ever felt burned by a hire that didn't work out, this episode will shift how you think about leadership, delegation, and building your team.   Episode Resources: Get on the waitlist for my new Designer's Room  This episode is sponsored by Dovetail Furniture
