[S5, Ep41] The People Strategy You’re Avoiding (And Why It’s Making Scaling Messy)

There's no shame in the game, but if you've thought at least one of these thoughts very recently..."I just need one more person." "If we just hire someone who's good, this will all come together.""I don't know if we can afford to hire, but I don't know what else to do."...Then it sounds like you're in the messy middle of your business. And like most founders in this stage, you don't have a people strategy at all — yet! And that's what this episode is all about. ✨ Episode Highlights:😰 Why reactive hiring gets you into trouble, and what happens when you hit that tipping point💸 The real cost of waiting too long to hire, or hiring without structure🗺️ How to reverse engineer your vision into a people strategy that actually connects your team to your business goals📋 The difference between hiring from fear and hiring from strategy — and how one of the LPC Accelerator clients turned her people strategy into a living roadmap that now drives every hire, every decision and every stage of growthA people strategy that connects every role in your business directly to the vision you're actually trying to build means the decisions get clearer, the team understands what they own, and you stop asking "can we afford this?" and start asking "does this drive our next stage of growth?" ✨That's the CEO move I hope you begin to make. If you're already feeling the burn, running flat out, and you know a people strategy is what's been missing, the LPC Accelerator is where that work gets done.
