Quotes:
How is our team not going to feel like we’re just trying to replace them? … We were very open and honest with them, saying everyone’s job is safe. The reason that we’ve set up this team is because you’re too good and clients want more from us and we need a way we can scale our practice really quickly.
We do regular check-ins with them, give them feedback. If there’s an issue we fight it on the spot, we don’t hold it back. We tend to be more proactive about it and say, ‘here’s what happened, here’s what should have happened.
I can’t imagine life without them.
