Picture this: someone on your team comes to you and says they are leaving, for whatever reason.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind?

Would you feel prepared?

Would your business halt or just hiccup?

This week on the Run Like Clockwork Podcast, Adrienne and Laurie from Team RLC talk about how to navigate losing a key team member. It’s inevitable that you will have team members outgrow and leave… we want to help you think through some things so you feel prepared.

Topics Adrienne + Laurie discuss on this episode:

Cultivating a culture of open communication
How to leave the door open for the future
Setting up systems now to make offboarding transitions smoother
Splitting roles up by strengths + identifying gaps

Laurie has been an integral part of our Run Like Clockwork team. We will miss her and wish her the best in this new chapter! Perhaps you have a *Laurie* on your team who is a key team member and you’re worried about if/when they leave. Or perhaps you have someone leaving your team, for whatever reasons, we hope this episode sheds light on things you can do now to make the off-boarding transition and replacement as smooth as possible.

What has been the most difficult part of losing a team member for you? Would love to hear! Tag us on Instagram @rlclockwork

And as always, we’re continuing the conversation over in our free Run Like Clockwork Community! We’d love to hear your Clockwork questions!
