What's the Right Staff Structure?

Wondering if your structure is giving you "the right stuff"?    

In this episode, Michelle and Danielle dive into a topic that takes up a lot of time and brain space for CEOs - staffing structures and the right number of direct reports. Whether you're inheriting an existing team or building your own from scratch, the structure you choose has a major impact on productivity, communication, and your calendar.

We explore:

• Why staffing structure is a major focus during funding changes, or new projects
• The impact of too many direct reports on a CEO's time and focus
• How to think beyond a number - why working backwards from your available time might be a smarter approach
• The importance of having the right people leading teams to avoid silos and ensure alignment
• What to consider when composing your senior leadership team, including cross-functional representation
• Why monthly check-ins and regular feedback loops can be more effective than traditional annual appraisals
• Setting meaningful KPIs and goals that actually align with your organisation’s strategic direction

Structure should support your strategic plan, not strain your calendar.
