Effective Business Structure: "The owner role shifts from doing to developing. Now his role really becomes developing those VPs, helping them grow and learn how to do their jobs better and become more efficient and proficient and more productive."
— Dave Pennington 00:08:24
Employee Development Strategies: "What an owner needs to do is lean in and really get to know that person, know what she likes, what she doesn't like, know what she's good at, what she's not so good at. Sometimes we hire someone for 1 role brand as we get to know them, we actually find out they would actually better in a different role that we never even saw that at the beginning."
