How Disengagement Quietly Kills Small Teams

In this episode, I break down Gallup’s 2025 Global Workplace Report and why it matters more than ever for small service business founders like you. If you're hiring remote talent or building your first few roles, this data is your wake-up call. With 77% of employees worldwide disengaged, the cost of getting it wrong isn’t just wasted money; it’s lost momentum. I walk you through how disengagement starts, why it hits small teams harder, and how you can build systems that set your hires and your business up for long term success. You’ll Learn: Why most disengagement isn’t about bad hires. It’s about lack of clarity What to fix before hiring your first or second remote team member How to create an onboarding process that builds trust and long-term retention Why “you can’t delegate chaos” and what to do instead The myth of corporate red tape (and how small businesses create their own) Simple steps to start building scalable systems even if you're a solo founder If you’re hiring remotely or building a lean team, this will help you avoid expensive mistakes and build a company people want to stay with.
