25. You Don’t Have a Hiring Problem. You Have a Standards Problem.

When someone on the team isn’t meeting expectations, it’s easy to spiral into guilt, frustration, or “maybe I’m just not leading them well.” Kareen helps one entrepreneur slow down and assess what’s actually happening: where the person is falling short, whether any part of the role still fits, and what needs to be backfilled before the founder gets trapped doing everything again. This conversation is a reminder that being a kind leader doesn’t mean carrying someone else’s missed responsibilities forever. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
