Are you afraid of being replaced, or are you actively working toward it?

In this episode of Beyond The Title is joined by Katie VanderPutten to discuss a counterintuitive but essential leadership mindset: hiring people who can do your job better than you.

Many leaders fall into the trap of "scarcity thinking," fearing that a highly talented hire might make them redundant. Jeff and Katie flip the script, exploring how:

• Replacing yourself is the key to moving up: If you are the only one who can do what you do, you’re stuck.
• The "Better Together" approach: How collaboration and diverse perspectives lead to results beyond your wildest imagination.
• Efficiency through Design: Why seeking more efficient ways to work isn't just about the task—it’s about improving everyone’s day.
• Staying Open-Minded: Embracing the fact that someone else’s "different" way of doing things might actually be the "better" way.

Whether you're an entrepreneur or climbing the corporate ranks, this conversation will challenge you to look at your team not as subordinates, but as partners in building a more efficient and innovative future.
