What if the reason hiring keeps failing is not the people, but the way you are bringing them in?
In this episode of She Is a Leader, Yvonne sits down with her business manager, Luby, to unpack what really changed inside her business after years of hiring out of urgency.
This conversation moves past the usual hiring advice and into what actually makes a team work. They talk about why hiring for skill alone kept leading to frustration, and how shifting the focus to values, personality, and communication changed everything. It is not about finding the perfect resume. It's about understanding how someone thinks, how they handle pressure, and whether they truly align with how you operate.
There is also an honest look at leadership. The hesitation people feel around being honest with their boss. The habits carried over from bad work environments. The tension between having deadlines and still leading with humanity.
At its core, this is a conversation about trust. What it takes to build it, and what becomes possible when you do.
If you have ever felt like you are doing everything yourself or constantly starting over with new hires, this might shift how you see your role as a leader.
