Disruption Interruption podcast host and veteran communications disruptor Karla Jo Helms interviews Belle Walker, Founder and Lead Consultant at Belleview Consulting. They discuss how to take fast-growth companies "from friction to function."
TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Belle Walker has spent her career helping companies build and optimize their teams. She has seen too many companies achieve quick growth only to stumble when it comes to putting the right staff in the right roles. Belle understands that people can't simply be cogs in the machine. Staff members need to work to their strengths, and leaders must set up structures so teams can give their best efforts.
Enter disruptor Belle Walker who sat down with Karla Jo Helms, host of the Disruption Interruption podcast, to explain her mission to take companies "from friction to function." Belle explains how she leverages her background as an engineer into a problem-solving approach that helps leaders assemble the right team for their organization's needs.
- Taking companies from friction to function means removing obstacles that prevent workers from doing their best work.
- It's all about teams: Staffing a company is like building a bus. You need the right vehicle with the right mix of passengers sitting in the right places.
- Use an engineer's eye: Look at the problem, assess the materials at hand, and figure out what obstacles and limits are part of the big picture. Then, make a plan around those facts.
- Building a team requires honesty: You have to be truthful about what you want, what resources you have, and what you're unwilling to change.
- A leader is a person who motivates and inspires those around them. A manager who can't achieve that can't succeed.
- Set staff up for success: It's not enough to promote from within. Leaders should create opportunities for newly appointed managers to grow and learn their new roles.
- Fast-growing companies should think strategically about how to structure teams: Make sure middle managers have a clear sense of their role, and leaders should have a clear sense of their managers' strengths and goals.
- Don't wait too long to ask for help. The best time to bring in Belle is when the company has crossed an "invisible threshold" before it starts to sprawl and get disorganized.
- When she's not fixing businesses, Belle enjoys running Disney half marathons. She's excited for her 6-month-old baby to cheer her on at the next one.
