    186- How to Turn New Hires into A-Players
    2025/10/30
    Why do so many promising new hires—the ones who looked great on paper—end up being a disappointment? It often comes down to a gap in professionalism, accountability, and the "soft skills" that no one seems to be teaching.

    As a manager, executive, or business owner, you've felt the frustration. You have to chase people for follow-ups, you see them on their phones in meetings, and they lack the initiative to think one step ahead. It costs you time, money, and energy. In this episode of The Business Wingman Show, Steve and Travis Smith break down the critical behaviors that separate the "A-Players" from the "bad hires."

    This is the perfect resource to share with your new and young professionals. It’s a masterclass in the unspoken rules of a successful career.

    Use this episode to start a conversation with your team about:
    * Taking true ownership and initiative (not just waiting to be told)
    * The power of "active listening" and being present
    * Why you MUST participate in meetings (even if you don't have the title)
    * The correct way to follow up (and why "one email" isn't enough)
    * How to "manage up" to help your boss
    * Why taking constructive criticism is a non-negotiable skill
