Episode notes
Give us Feedback on this episode Most SaaS teams blame the market, the tool, the AI craziness, but they are overlooking one VERY IMPORTANT factor about why their company might be plateuign: Mindset - of the founder AND the team. This Thursday, May 14th at 11AM ET, I'm going LIVE with Mike Simmons, consultant, operator, and someone who's helped companies from early-stage startups to enterprise giants like Walt Disney and Lockheed Martin break through growth plateaus. Mike has a refreshingly simple framework that most leaders ignore: Mindset → Skillset → Toolset. Most companies do it backwards. We're diving into: Why your leadership team might be the thing killing your growth How to identify and build the next generation of leaders from within The 5 core leadership skills every GTM team needs right now And why communication is silently destroying execution at your company If you're a founder, CRO, or leader trying to scale past that next plateau.. or an IC trying to understand what separates good from great - you need to be in this conversation. Elite Talent Recruiting helps B2B SaaS leaders hire high performing Pre Sales and Post Sales talent when speed and quality actually matter.
