Welcome to Salesy with Meghan. Today, Meghan sat down to talk about Recapping Q1 with COO Rain

Meghan recaps what Q1 looked like with her COO Rain. She spoke about what she learned in Q1, how her team made it happen.

Reflecting on the first 90 days, they talked about the calculating moves that lead to a very packed but non-burning out Q1.

Rain broke down how the team operates through "sprints" and how that has changed the way they go about completing their tasks. Essentially how they look at the overall week ahead of them and what can they do.

Treating Thursday like it is the end of the week so by the time Friday comes, it is a chance to review the past week and planning ahead for the next week.

Meghan talks about what it meant for her to shift to the concept of how much she had to do within the business, essentially, if it didn't require her face or her voice, then to allow a team member to take over the tasks for her so that way Meghan could focus less on doing everything.

Allowing team members to have leadership and ownership in their tasks has helped their team to feeling safe within their roles.

Operations happen out of, "not delegating tasks but delegating decisions," which contributes to the team's autonomy within their roles and tasks.

Focusing on, "what are the results, what are the deliverables and what are the standards," with each task/role.

The women talk about the different approaches to completed work, done is better than perfect vs. perfect is better than done.

Reflecting on what worked out and what did not work out for them in Q1 and why it is important to set boundaries on what isn't working.

What it means to show up for the team, and what it means to be a leader in business...removing emotions from business and how to communicate effectively. Remembering that the team's communication is for the business, it is not personal. It is all about advocating for what is best for the business, team, and customer.

Meghan urges that you will grow more if your OBM is next to you, because that is what she was able to notice once she started letting Rain settle more in a COO and "boss" position (in an organizational structure sense) that allowed Rain to help Meghan to navigate and grow her business, especially over this year's Q1.
