You Can’t Lead Your Way Out of a Management Problem (Emily Isbell)

from Home Care Strategy Lab · host Miriam Allred

#31 Running a home care agency can feel like running a marathon—at a 7-minute mile pace, on a treadmill, underwater. Most owners are stuck because they fall into one of two traps: the “set it and forget it” manager who assumes vision is enough, or the “I’ll just do it myself” manager who can’t let go of control. Emily Isbell, CEO of 24/7 Solutions breaks down why both fail and what it takes to build a management culture that actually sustains growth. She explains how to apply the TTOE framework—Teach, Train, Observe, Evaluate—and implement real training, grounded processes, and meaningful KPIs. If you’re half leading and half managing, this conversation is especially for you. Emily Isbell on LinkedIn24/7 Solutions (www.247solutions.co) - Learn more and inquire about their services24/7 Solutions Summit (www.247solutions.co/247-solution-summit) - Hands-on intensive to learn and apply proven solutions for your business / Feb 5-6 in Nashville, TN24/7 Solution Book on Amazon (available everywhere)24/7 Solution Audible on Audible (available everywhere)
