Building Your Leadership Team with Jesse Arnoldson

Episode Summary
Team leadership is something organizations are working on every single day.
Jesse and Jay are back together to discuss how we can build our team’s leadership. Jesse learned that leaning on teammates from either the clinical part or the business part is essential through management. Also, checking which individuals in those branches are potential leaders. Asking for more people to come to the team may be a difficult conversation. Jesse shares his advice on how to approach high-level individuals to justify your needs.
We end this conversation with, what we imagine, is the perfect management team, their skills, and traits.
Key Take-Aways

Have arguments and data to back up your justifications.
Systemize your time and processes as much as possible.
A team should beat a decision until it is perfected.
