068: Anne Sugar’s Hiring to Scale Process

Positioning your company for hyper-growth requires “leveling up” people as well as processes and tools.

In this episode, Anne Sugar, an executive coach for the Harvard Business School Executive Program, provides an in-depth case study of a hiring process she coached an H.R. executive through as she set out to answer four key questions in preparation for expansion.
