Hiring Your First (or Next) Senior Person. What Most Business Owners Get Wrong

Hiring a senior person can be one of the most important decisions a business owner makes.

It’s often seen as the next step in growth, someone who can take ownership, reduce pressure, and help the business move to the next level.

But many senior hires fail, not because the person was wrong, but because the structure around the role wasn’t ready.

In this episode, Rich explores why senior hires often struggle and what business owners need to have in place before bringing someone experienced into the team.

If you’ve ever thought, “I just need someone senior to help take things off my plate,” this conversation will be particularly relevant.

In this episode we cover:

• Why many business owners hire senior people too early

• The difference between relief hiring and strategic hiring

• The structural mistake that causes most senior hires to fail

• Why clarity of role and authority matters more than capability

• The leadership shift required when bringing in senior people
