SUMMARY:Scaling Strategy: How to hire headcount for sustainable growth
DESCRIPTION:More Knowledgeable Other  The zone of proximal development says that a more knowledgeable person can enhance a person’s learning by guiding them through a task slightly above their ability level. These practical and hands-on learning experiences will build your core competencies and skills. \nFor October our knowledge sharer is: Ben Smith\, who worked with the founders of 2XU\, Frank Green and Poppy Lissiman to help scale their businesses. \nFounders often don’t think about how to hire teams\, until it’s too late! \nA business is only as good as it’s people\, and many founders give little thought to building great teams\, including executives\, until it’s too late. If your business is reaching the stage where you’re hiring headcount\, or just want to be ready for when you do\, learn how to create and implement hiring strategy that will allow you to scale. \nGet the skills you need to build a legendary team to grow your business. \n*Limited spot available with a strict capacity cap. Reserve your spot now and if you end up not being able to make it\, please let us know so we can give your spot to the waiting list. \nHaven’t been to Bloom in a while?
