Hiring isn't the hard part. Keeping the wrong people on your team is.
In this episode of The After Brief, Lucy sits down with Lucky Girl Social's Director of Growth & Ops, Nikki King, to unpack one of the hardest leadership lessons every business owner eventually faces: hiring slowly, making difficult decisions quickly, and building a team that actually supports your growth.
They share honest stories from scaling Lucky Girl Social, the costly mistakes they made hiring too fast, why underperforming team members hurt your best employees, and how clear systems, expectations, and leadership make difficult conversations easier.
If you've ever delayed firing someone because you hoped things would improve, or you're afraid of making the wrong decision, this episode is for you.
Inside this episode:
Why "hire slow, fire fast" actually works
The real cost of keeping the wrong hire
Leadership vs. people pleasing
How company values simplify difficult decisions
Why your best employees suffer when you tolerate poor performance
The systems every growing business needs before scaling
Letting go of control as a CEO
Because protecting your business isn't about avoiding hard conversations. It's about having the right ones.
