In today’s episode, I kick off a two-part series on the essential elements of building a lean team in your business. Having a lean team is not only about minimising your costs, but is also about optimising efficiency to maximise returns with your existing team. Whether you're an emerging entrepreneur or an experienced business owner, the insights I share will prove invaluable in enhancing your team's effectiveness.

In this episode, I share the first two critical strategies, the first two critical elements that you need to have in place. An essential element for a lean and effective team is clear communication, and I share the reasons why effective communication is crucial for the success of any team, especially in small businesses where resources are limited, and everyone often wears multiple hats. It is common that small businesses need to do more with fewer resources, and I share some real-life examples of how you can review the efficiency of your current systems, processes, and team structure.

I hope that this episode encourages you to reflect on your current business structure, and where you could make adjustments to create a lean, effective, and profitable team. Stay tuned for next week’s episode where I share two the last two critical strategies and elements that you need to have in place.
