On last week’s episode, we answered the question: “Is it a school owner’s job to nag their teachers about communication?”

We answered that… and we did it with a live audience!

After we concluded that episode, we spent an hour answering audience questions on a variety of topics around teacher discipline, communication policies, having the nerve to enforce your standards, and practical tips for managing your team.

We decided to release selections from that live Q&A as their own episode… as there is a lot of wisdom that Nate and I gave to the live audience.

Here’s what we cover in the episode:

Welcome to our Q&A about teacher discipline and communication policies!
“When I don’t have an admin other than myself at the studio, I would like to have teachers take on a community manager role, such as closing the studio down at the end of the day.”
Nate’s steps to hiring internally (i.e. hiring teachers to be community managers)
How Brooklyn Music Factory’s communication policies encourage respect and openness etween teachers & managers
How to create communication policies regarding teacher time off
The reason you aren’t getting what you want in business
The pivotal point for Grow Your Music Studio that caused Daniel to optimize his team training
How Nate conducts his team training day, centered around creating great communication practices and storytelling
How to invest in your business when the outcomes are unsure
The real reason why Daniel and Nate don’t have communication issues with their team
“My team won’t engage with me or with each other… and I’ve tried everything!”
