We’re looking to hire a day to day operator or CEO type. What would the correct title be? We have around 17 staff and enough profit to pay someone and work within the services industry.
People that have done this successfully;
Where should we start? What do you wish you knew? Are there any resources you can suggest? Books, YouTube video, podcasts etc? What functions do you still hold onto and what is your time commitment now?
Bring them in as a general manager. I nice skilled enough to be effective promote them to Director of Operations. After 5-10 years promote to COO.
you don’t want a ceo or president title on a person like this. It implies some level of ownership of the company
Thanks, what’s the best way to find someone. Job ad, poach from another company? We don’t really have anyone internally. What kind of traits/experience would you look for?
