The other training relating to leadership is you got to hire right. Hiring is critical. It’s like the 80-20. If you spec the role right, if you have a great recruitment process, and then you get the right person in the team and you train them properly, most of your barriers have been overcome.
So I did a how to recruit your next team member training that is really a masterclass in getting the right people on board. Because I’ve refined and refined and refined that system over hundreds of hundreds of hires over decades. That is a good training.
In terms of general leadership, there’s lots of popular names out there like John Maxwell, and Warren Bennis and Simon Sinek. Go and have a look. You know what I do? When I got promoted to salesperson, I went and bought seven books on selling and read them all in one weekend. When I got promoted to sales manager, I went and bought seven books on sales management, and I read them all in one weekend.

Leadership is really the critical skill which without it, you cannot scale. You won’t scale your business unless you’re a good leader, or you won’t scale it and keep the business unless you’re a good leader. It’s absolutely the critical factor in scale. Going from six to seven figures, leadership is a major, major piece of that puzzle.
