Stop wasting mental bandwidth trying to manage poor performance instead of scaling your business.

In this episode of Put Me In, Coach. I'm Ready to Scale, host Eugene Terk sits down with Scaling Up Coach Trey House to tackle one of the biggest growth bottlenecks for any entrepreneur: Talent.

Trey shares a powerful, eye-opening tool that he runs with his executive clients every single quarter—the Quick Talent Assessment Matrix. Instead of getting bogged down by complicated review processes, this simple 2x2 matrix plots your direct reports based on two crucial parameters: Core Values Alignment and Productivity.

Stop letting human resource challenges consume your leadership team's energy. It's time to calibrate your team, elevate your standards, and get everyone moving into the right quadrant!

  • The Productivity Trap: Why keeping a high producer who actively violates your core values can be cancerous to your organization, and why you need to put them on a "short leash".
