PodcastOne
About this episode
You want success? You CAN’T be the smartest person in the room. You shouldn't want to be. When you’re building something great and scalable, you need to surround yourself with people who are better and smarter than you and enable them to do their best work. Until then, you’ll never be able to get a product better than the one in your own brain. 

One of the world's foremost experts on jobs, careers, hiring, firing, culture building and more Tessa White, the ultimate job doctor joins the pod to break down this week’s Shawnism: Hire better than you, and let them own it. 
Join us as we break down: 
  • Why micromanagement, ego and insecurity are the enemy of great work
  • How to lead a team to do their best work (and build a winning business)
  • Building a great company-wide listening ecosystem
