Most business owners spend their days griping about their "bad hires."

Meanwhile...

The smart ones are busy turning their existing team into profit machines.

In this episode, Joe Blackburn drops some harsh truths about leadership that'll make you rethink everything.

You'll discover:

• Why pouring 80% of your energy into your A-player is the fastest path to explosive growth (even if it pisses off everyone else)

• The "movable middle" strategy that transforms average employees into solid contributors... without micromanaging them to death

• How to identify what ACTUALLY motivates each team member (hint: it's often not money)

• Why spending time "fixing" your worst performer is corporate suicide

• The psychology behind why your best people need the most criticism (and how to deliver it without crushing their soul)

Plus Jason shares the "whiplash effect" - that delicate balance between pushing people hard and giving them the support they need to not break.

This isn't your typical "hire A-players only" bullshit advice.

This is real-world leadership for people who have to work with humans... not unicorns.

Because here's the thing:

You can keep waiting for the "perfect team" to magically appear...

Or you can start winning TODAY with the people sitting at your conference table right now.

Your choice.

But if you choose option two... this episode is your playbook.
