How Good Teams Become Over-Dependent (and What Great CEOs Do Instead)

In this episode of Staging Sips, Lori reveals a quiet trap that keeps even experienced staging CEOs stuck in operator mode: hiring for help instead of ownership.

You'll learn how to spot the difference between helpers who lighten your load temporarily and team members who expand your company's capacity. Lori shares how to shift from being the answer key to being the coach, empowering your team to think, decide, and act like owners so your business can finally run without you.

Whether you're hiring your first assistant or managing a growing operations team, this episode will help you lead with discernment, trust, and vision — the Accelerate Standard for scalable success.

What you will learn in this episode:

• The difference between helpers and team members

• Why over-availability creates quiet dependence

• How to move from fixer to coach in your leadership style

• The questions to ask yourself before hiring or promoting anyone

• How to build capacity instead of just relief

• What it means to embody the Accelerate Standard inside your company
