In the first episode of a 3 part series, our host Shannon Lonergan is joined by the entire Axiom team for a fun full team podcast where we dive a little deeper into our team members and learn more about each of ourselves personally and professionally.

In this episode of The Axiom Podcast, Shannon and Joey discuss the difficulties and advantages of delegating tasks as a leader and offer practical advice on improving delegation skills.

The conversation starts with why delegation is challenging for high achievers. It is difficult to relinquish control of tasks, but it will bear much fruit for the leader and team members involved.

Joey explains delegation involves a trade-off because explaining tasks and training others to handle them takes time. Nevertheless, empowering others to take over responsibilities can save leaders time in the long run.

Shannon is joined by Joey and Tommy as they discuss the importance of servant leadership and having leadership affirmations to build a strong culture. Excelling leaders are committed to investing time in others, encouraging and empowering their team, and championing the organization's values.

Drawing insights from Joey's book, "Grow with Purpose," this podcast discussion centered around the importance of leaders being accountable to their teams and fostering a culture of accountability.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s essential to have a strategic planning method that allows you to focus on your most important goals. That’s where quarterly priorities come in!

No Bad Teams” is a 3 part conversation. We start by exploring the meaning behind this statement, observing that when clients face problems, they tend to either focus on the individuals involved or the person at the center of the issue. We advocate for an Extreme Ownership approach, reminding our listeners that at the end of the day, no one can make a change except for themselves, and leading by example is the best approach to cultivating great teams.

In this episode, Devin and Shannon sit down to discuss the importance of categorizing candidates based on their experience and competency.

The hiring process is an essential function in any business. But hiring is more than getting people in the door. Companies that know this stick to a process designed to identify “A” players who contribute to the company culture and help the company accomplish its vision.
