About this Event
Join Us at the Accelerator People Learning Day!
Every constraint in your business eventually turns out to be a people problem. This day covers the hiring, firing, and coaching mechanics most owners were never taught.
What we’ll cover:
- Core Values: name the behaviors you hire, fire, and praise for
- Topgrading: a hiring process that stops you from falling for the interview
- Hiring Sales: why sales hires fail and how to screen for the real thing
- Talent Assessment and how to fire: A, B, and C players, and how to let someone go cleanly
- Job Scorecards: define what success looks like before you hire, not after
- Compensation and Commissions: pay plans that drive the behavior you want
- Coaching Skills: get more from the team you already have
You’ll leave with a scorecard for your next hire, a plan for the conversation you have been putting off, and a comp structure that pays for the behavior you actually want.
