Episode Description from the Publisher

Is your team's biggest problem actually a hiring problem? In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy breaks down a piece of simple math that explains why bigger teams almost always move slower, not faster, even when everyone on them is talented and hardworking. He traces the idea to Jeff Bezos's famous rule for keeping teams small at Amazon, then shows exactly how many hidden relationships get created every time you add just one more person to a group. Darren hands you five practical shifts for keeping decisions fast as you grow, and a pointed question to ask before your next hire that most leaders never think to ask. Sometimes the smartest move for your company's speed is the one that feels completely backwards. Secure your seat for Darren's 2027 AI Growth Blueprint event at http://ai.darrenhardy.com/.
