  • Stop Promoting These People (Even Though You Want To) (EP 99)

    Stop Promoting These People (Even Though You Want To) (EP 99)
    2025/12/03
    Award-winning business consultant Lauren Goldstein pulls back the curtain on one of the most expensive mistakes business owners make: promoting the wrong people into leadership roles.


    In this episode, Lauren breaks down the critical difference between A-players and worker bees, reveals the five risky promotion profiles that business owners keep elevating, and shares the two core elements of real leadership DNA that you can't teach or fake.

    You'll learn the exact three questions to ask before promoting anyone, the simple fix to reward both ICs and future leaders, and what to do if you've already promoted someone who isn't cutting it.
    This episode is packed with tangible strategies to help you recognize who actually has leadership DNA, set your entire team up for success, and stop bleeding money and talent because of mis-aligned promotions.

    If you've ever wondered whether your top performer should become a manager or if you're currently dealing with a promotion that's not working out, this episode will give you a clear path forward.

    Here's what's waiting in the episode:
    [00:00] The $350K promotion mistake
    [02:19] Why promoting from within often backfires
    [04:43] A-players vs. worker bees: Understanding the critical difference
    [07:09] The exit interview that revealed catastrophic leadership failures
    [09:32] The 5 risky profiles to stop promoting
    [11:55] What real leadership DNA actually looks like
    [14:12] The 3 questions to ask before promoting anyone
    [18:06] How to fix promotion mistakes (the conversation that sucks but saves you)
    [22:49] The silent killer of teams
    [25:13] The fix

    Mic Drop Moments:
    1. "There's a massive difference between wanting someone to be a leader and them actually having the DNA to lead effectively."
    2. "The number one job of a leader is to create other leaders, not just manage people or delegate tasks, create other leaders."
    3. “Just because someone knows where all the bodies are buried doesn't mean they can lead the living.”
    4. “Resentment infects the team faster than pink eye at preschool."

  • Death by Meeting? How Leaders Cut Meeting Overload and Get 100 Hours Back (EP 98)

    Death by Meeting? How Leaders Cut Meeting Overload and Get 100 Hours Back (EP 98)
    2025/11/19
    Let's be honest: you're spending half your week in meetings that accomplish very little.

    You know the ones. Someone drones on about updates that could've been a Slack message. Eight people sit there while two hash out something irrelevant. You walk out wondering "what did we just accomplish?" and immediately get pulled into another one.

    Meanwhile, the actual work that would grow your business and create momentum? Squeezed into the margins because your calendar looks like Tetris designed by a sadist.

    Here's what most people aren't saying: your meetings are probably broken. And it's likely costing you momentum, focus, and your team's sanity; not to mention your profitability.

    The good news? This is SO fixable.

    Whether you're dealing with meeting overload, ineffective leadership meetings, or a team drowning in calendar chaos, there's a better way to run your meeting and your business.

    In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact framework I use with my clients to cut the meeting madness. The four types of meetings you actually need, the metrics worth tracking, and how to give your team their time back.

    Here's what's waiting in the episode:
    • [2:40] The 4 meeting types that create real momentum (not more busy work)
    • [1:29] Why "leadership meetings" with everyone on the call tend to accomplish very little
    • [3:53] The 3 questions that surface problems before they become dumpster fires
    • [6:16] How to stop tracking vanity metrics and watch the numbers that better predict what's coming
    • [10:15] The 1-3-1 rule that stops meetings from turning into complaint sessions
    The average employee spends 103 hours per year in unnecessary meetings. Woof. That's three full work weeks per person your team could spend shipping products, closing deals, and going home on time. Your meetings don't have to suck. Let The Biz Doctor® show you how to fix them.

    02:10 — Michael’s journey from teacher to Broadway producer + the power of reputation
