Shownotes

LoriAnn Kuntz, a finance expert by trade (and a legal eagle by necessity), never planned on hiring employees.

She had properly classified contractors, and that arrangement was working out just fine…until it wasn’t. As soon as she realized she needed more say over her team’s work, she knew it was time to change up her team’s structure.

It’s one thing to chat about these principles through our typical HR lens; it’s another to hear them straight from someone who’s in the trenches, leading and learning every day.

LoriAnn and I chatted about:

The financial ins and outs you need to consider before hiring a team member.
The mental gymnastics (hello, mindset shifts) of moving from working with contractors to managing PT or FT employees.
The often overlooked value of knowing yourself as a leader and building a successful team.
Why great leadership doesn’t just matter in the here and now - it can change employees’ lives for years to come.
And the ultimate power move: hiring people who might just be smarter than you.

Tune in now to get inspired!
