Episode Notes
Season 7: Hiring, Recruitment, and Building a Clinic Team
Welcome Hello and welcome to the Treat Your Business Podcast. I’m Katie Bell, and this week I’m diving into a situation that so many clinic owners face, what to do when you realise you’ve got the right person, but they’re in the wrong seat, or perhaps the wrong person in the right seat. It’s something I see all the time in our Thrive community, and it’s a challenge every growing business has to navigate. 🌱
Episode Summary In this episode, I’m sharing why team churn is so common as we grow and why it’s not always a bad thing. I talk about the early days of hiring, when you just need someone with a pulse!, and how, as your business grows, it’s vital to focus on getting the right people in the right seats. I introduce the GWC framework (Get it, Want it, Capacity to do it) from the Entrepreneurial Operating System, and I break down how to analyse your team, set your cultural bar, and have those tough but essential conversations when someone’s not quite fitting. I also share my own experiences of getting this wrong, what I’ve learned, and why intentional culture creation is the real key to sustainable growth.
