About this episode

This episode discusses the challenges of losing a team member and offers practical strategies to build redundancy within a team.

Losing a team member is painful, but what happens next is usually the bigger problem: the scramble to hire, the months of retraining, and sometimes losing that person too. In this episode, I break down why this cycle isn't a sign of bad leadership, and share three practical ways to build redundancy into your team before you need it, so the next departure doesn't take your momentum with it.
