Joe recommends booking meetings with the whole team and one on one, that are non-transactional to open up communication between his team.

Our guest caller’s second breakthrough comes when Joe lays out a strategy to take control of a refund rate that has gotten out of control. Joe invites our guest to coach and trust his team enough to solve this issue for him instead of keeping himself in a hub-and-spoke business model that falls apart if he leaves for vacation. Simply creating accountability by putting the refund rate number upfront where the whole team can see.
