Common Symptom
"My team isn't working"
Hiring, training, managing—it all feels harder than it should. Good people leave. The wrong people stay.
You've tried different approaches to hiring and management. Some people leave too soon. Others stay but underperform. Building a reliable team feels like an unsolvable puzzle. You spend more time managing people problems than running your business.
Signs you might recognize
- •High turnover, especially among your best people
- •Constant need to micromanage or follow up
- •Team members who don't take initiative
- •Hiring feels like a gamble that rarely pays off
- •Performance conversations are awkward or avoided
- •You're not sure who's actually doing good work
What's often underneath
The symptom you're experiencing is real, but it's usually a signal of something deeper. These are the root causes we commonly find:
Unclear Expectations
Roles, responsibilities, and success criteria aren't clearly defined. People don't know what 'good' looks like.
Hiring Misalignment
You're hiring for skills and experience but not for fit with your culture, values, and work style.
Missing Development
There's no clear path for growth. Good people leave because they don't see a future.
Accidental Culture
Your culture developed by default, not by design. It may not be attracting or retaining the right people.
