PODCAST EPISODE 365 – How Great Leaders Build Teams That Make Them Better

ByPaul Adams

What does it actually take to hire the right people – and build a team that makes you better?

In this episode of More Than Commas, Paul sits down with Jaidin McCann (President of PeopleConnect Staffing, HR executive, and founder who has built six companies and led three successful exits) to talk about the real game of talent acquisition, executive hiring, and what separates great leaders from those who get stuck.

They discuss A-players, insecure leadership, company culture, the hidden job market, salary negotiation, and the hard truths about what it really takes to move from director to C-suite, without losing your integrity in the process.

More importantly, this conversation is a reminder that who you hire shapes who you become, and that building the right team may be one of the most important decisions a leader ever makes.
