Tamara Littleton is Executive Chair & Founder at Social Element. She started the agency as a remote-first business 22 years ago.
In this episode, Tamara shares how she:
- Puts attracting and retaining brilliant talent at the top of their flywheel and as their key business objective
- Used her corporate background to apply strategic thinking from day one and grow into a large business
- Leads from the back to keep out of people’s way and allow them to take the business forward
- Appointed external auditors to measure how well they’re doing for diversity and help them continuously improve
- Rolled out DISC training across the business so everyone better understands each other, is more respectful and challenges ideas
- Takes it as her personal responsibility to retain the culture so the team keeps turning up every day and doing a great job
