Leading a Team without Micromanaging Them with Kate Strathmann

One of the things that puts people off about hiring is this idea that they’re going to have to micromanage their contractors or employees. But if you hire the right people and have the right structures in place, you may find that you’re able to lead a team without guiding their every move. Today, I’m talking with Kate Strathmann about the people and structures she’s put in place at her bookkeeping and consultancy practice, Wanderwell, that have helped her lead a team without micromanaging them. We talk about her hiring process, about how she handles employee compensation and team communication and about why she approaches everything in her business through the lens of providing flexibility and great employee care.  Learn more about The Better Than Big Intensive: https://www.ashleygartland.com/the-simplified-intensive   Learn more about Ashley: https://www.ashleygartland.com/   Follow Ashley on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleygartland/   Learn more about Kate Strathmann: https://wanderwellconsulting.com/   Follow Kate on Instagram: instagram.com/_wanderwell_

And on Better Than Big, she's bringing you transparent conversations with real small business owners who've figured out how to run simple, sustainable businesses that match their definition of success and free up their time for what's most important. In each conversation, Ashley and her guests explore the shifts they've made to their services, schedule, systems, team and personal habits so they can work less and live more. They talk about the decisions they’ve made, the things they’ve said no to and the choices and tradeoffs they’ve weighed to create a business that deeply serves their life and provides them with time for their families, health, personal development, hobbies and more.
