#090 The Right People in the Right Seat with Dr. Michael Neal
If you’re a CEO or leader looking to build a high-performing, engaged team, this episode is full of game-changing insights. Dr. Neal’s journey is proof that hiring isn’t just about filling seats—it’s about building a thriving, scalable, and values-driven business with the right people in the right seats. If you’re struggling with hiring or want to level up your team, this episode is a must-listen!
Here are some of my takeaways from the episode:
- The culture of your company isn’t built after hiring—it starts with hiring. Bringing in the right people ensures your workplace reflects your values.
- Companies with world-class cultures (think Disney, Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton) hire with precision. Studying their methods provided a blueprint for success.
- If you’re getting high turnover or poor engagement, it might not be the talent pool—it’s possible it’s your process.
- Shifting how you recruit and onboard can create a drastic improvement in team dynamics and productivity because it allows you to attract and hire more A and B+ players.
