This Founder Foundations episode focuses on coaching and mentoring, the ongoing development work that goes beyond weekly one-on-ones.
Steve talks through setting aside dedicated time for team members to build skills outside their current role, being honest with people about readiness for promotion without discouraging their ambition, and why investing in people pays off for the company as much as the individual.
Useful for founders building out an HR or people-development function for the first time.
