356: Team Success: Are You Process-Dependent or People-Dependent?

In this episode of the Stacking Your Team Podcast, I'm discussing a challenge that many of us face: dependency bottlenecks, which occur when our team relies too much on individual people, including ourselves, to keep things running smoothly. This can be a frustrating spot and can really hinder progress within the team. That's why I'm excited to talk with you about shifting from being people-dependent to process-dependent.

I'll share insights on minimizing risks by emphasizing the importance of documenting processes. Whether it’s creating SOP directories or promoting self-sufficiency, these steps are key to helping your team move past bottlenecks. We'll explore how embracing processes can lead to more agility and operational excellence, making it easier to cover unexpected absences or planned time away.

I'll also highlight the long-term benefits of becoming process-dependent, especially if you're considering selling your business at some point. A process-driven team not only performs better but also appeals more to potential buyers.

Join me as we discuss actionable strategies for strengthening your leadership and building a resilient, high-performing team capable of thriving, regardless of any hurdles that come your way.
