We dove deep into the complexities of instilling accountability within her expanding team at Sea Level Counseling & Wellness. In our discussion, Abby opened up about the hurdles she's facing as her practice grows and roles within her practice change. We explored the critical role of clearly defining leadership roles and the shared responsibilities that come with them, particularly in the hiring process. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to enhance team performance and accountability through proactive communication and strategic leadership. Join us to hear our chat where we covered:
