Have you ever hired someone because they were doing exceptionally well… only to realise months later that they were becoming a problem for the business?

This is where hiring gets interesting.

Because sometimes, the person you eventually have to worry about is not the person who performed badly during the interview.

Sometimes, it is the person everyone was initially excited about.

There was a company that hired someone into a leadership position. The person had the experience. The numbers started looking good. Targets were being met, customers were coming in, and from the outside, the decision looked like a very good one.

So nobody questioned the hire.

Until the team started changing.

People became quieter in meetings.

Ideas stopped coming as freely as they used to.

Some team members felt they could no longer challenge decisions or speak openly.

Then complaints started coming in.

Not from customers.

From the people working under this person.

And that created a difficult situation for the company because, on paper, this person was still performing.

The numbers were not screaming problem.

But the people were.

That is the part of hiring that businesses sometimes miss.

A person can be good at getting results and still be bad for the team producing those results.

And if you only measure the person by targets, revenue, sales or completed tasks, you may not notice the damage until good people start disengaging, leaving or simply deciding that they would rather work somewhere else.

The company eventually had to look beyond the numbers and ask a harder question:

“What exactly is this person building around themselves?”

Because leadership is not only about what you can achieve personally.

It is also about what becomes possible for the people working with you.

That story stayed with me because it changes the way I think about hiring.

The question should not always be:

“Can this person do the job?”

Sometimes the more important question is:

“What will this person do to the business once they have the job?”

Will they strengthen the team?

Will they take ownership?

Will they protect the company’s interests?

Will they make other people better?

Will they fit the stage of growth the business is entering?

Because you are not just hiring a CV.

You are introducing a person into the system that carries your business.

And the wrong person does not always announce themselves by failing.

Sometimes, they arrive looking exactly like the person you have been searching for.

That is why hiring for growth requires more than filling vacancies.

It requires understanding the business, the role, the stage of growth and the kind of person the organisation actually needs.

Who you hire today can affect what your business looks like tomorrow.

If you’re hiring, restructuring your team or preparing for your next stage of growth, DM “TALENT.”

Let’s have the conversation.

A business can recover from a bad month. It can recover from a bad campaign. But the wrong person in a critical role can quietly affect the business in ways you may not notice until much later.

That is why I think we need to change the way we talk about hiring.

A growing business sees an empty position and immediately starts looking for someone to fill it. The CV comes in, the interview happens, someone is hired, and everyone moves on to the next problem.

But what if the real question was never, “Who can fill this position?”

What if the better question was, “What does this business need this person to make possible?”

Because as a business grows, the team has to grow with it. You need people who understand their responsibilities, people who can take ownership, people whose strengths complement the rest of the team, and people who understand where the business is going rather than only what they have been asked to do today.

That is the difference between hiring people and building a team.

At BridgePoint Talent, we help businesses think about talent from the perspective of growth: understanding the business, identifying the capabilities it needs and helping build the team that can carry the next stage.

If you’re hiring, restructuring your team or preparing your business for its next level of growth, DM “TALENT.”

Let’s have the conversation.

Happy evening from BridgePoint 🤍

Tonight, we want to do something a little different.

Behind every business you see growing, there are people whose names may never appear on the website, but whose effort is part of the reason the work keeps moving.

To everyone who has shown up for BridgePoint, taken responsibility, supported a client, solved a problem, stayed late when something needed to be done, shared an idea, opened a door or simply chose to give their best even when nobody was watching, we see you and we appreciate you.

To the people behind BridgePoint, thank you. ❤️

And honestly, this is one of the things building a business keeps teaching us: good people matter.

You can have the money, the product, the strategy and the opportunity, but when you have people who genuinely care about what you are building, everything feels different.

They don’t look at a client’s problem and say, “That’s not my business.” They look for a way to help.

They don’t wait for someone to watch them before they do what is right.

They understand that when the business wins, everyone connected to it has something to be proud of.

So tonight, we’re grateful for the people who have chosen to build with us.

And if you’re building a team, don’t only hire people because they can do the work.

Look for people who will have the business in mind while doing the work.

Those people are worth keeping.

Happy evening from BridgePoint Growth & Consulting.

There is a kind of business problem that doesn’t show up on your financial statement until it is already too late.

The business is growing and things seem to be moving as they should. You have clients, you have money coming in, you have a product you believe in, and you have people around you who are supposed to help you carry the weight of the business.

Then something changes.

Not enough to make you panic, but enough to make you start wondering why things don’t feel the way they used to.

A client isn’t handled properly. You find out that something you thought had been taken care of was never done. You correct it and move on because, after all, people make mistakes.

Then another thing happens
Before long, you realise that you are spending too much time fixing things that should never have become problems in the first place.

But the real shock comes when you discover that some of the people you trusted with important parts of the business are no longer protecting the business the way you thought they were.

Some had started behaving as though the clients they were managing belonged to them. Some were having conversations behind the company’s back. Some were saying things about the business to other members of the team.

And what makes it even more painful is when the people involved are not just ordinary members of the team, but people you had trusted to lead others.

That kind of situation makes you stop and think.
Because you begin to realise that the problem isn’t simply that somebody is not doing their job. The problem is that somebody you trusted has access to something you have spent years building and they are no longer treating it with the same care you would.

And when those people are removed, something becomes very clear.

The business didn’t suddenly get more money. The product didn’t suddenly become better. The clients didn’t suddenly change.

The people changed.

And slowly, the business began to breathe again.

Work started moving properly. Communication became easier. Clients were being handled with the attention they deserved. The team became more focused, and the business started finding its rhythm again.

That experience can teach a founder something that is easy to overlook when you’re busy chasing growth: the people around your business are part of your growth strategy.

You can have money, a good product, loyal customers and a market full of opportunity, but if the people responsible for carrying the business forward don’t have the competence, integrity and ownership required of them, everything you have built can become vulnerable.

And sometimes, you don’t discover that until the damage has already started.

So when you are building your next team, don’t only ask whether someone can do the job.

Ask yourself whether you can trust them with the business when you are not in the room.

Your next growth problem may not be money. It may be the people carrying the business for you.

I
You also need to know how to communicate it.

So the next time someone asks you, “Tell me about yourself,” please do not start with your date of birth. 😂

Tell them who you are professionally, what you do, the kind of problems you know how to solve and the value you can bring.

Your story matters. But in an interview, your value needs to be clear.

And if you have ever sat in an interview and suddenly forgot everything you have ever achieved in your life, please tell me I am not the only one. 😂

I asked this question during an interview and the answer I got made me laugh like God 😂

The lady started telling me where she was from, where she went to school, when she finished her internship, the year she was born and almost everything that belonged in her biography. 😂

I was listening and thinking, Girl, I am interviewing you for a job. I am not coming to your village for introduction. 😭

So I stopped her and asked, “Okay, but what can you actually do?”

That was when the conversation changed.

She had skills. She had experience. She had actually done some interesting things.

The problem was that she did not know how to communicate any of it.

And this is something I keep seeing with professionals.

Someone can spend years building a skill, gaining experience, taking courses, working on projects and becoming really good at what they do, but when an opportunity finally comes and somebody asks, “Tell me about yourself,” they start telling their entire life story.

Meanwhile, the person interviewing them is trying to understand one simple thing:

Why should I consider you for this role?

That experience stayed with me because I realized that sometimes, professionals are not struggling because they lack capacity. They are struggling because they have never learned how to translate that capacity into value.

That is actually one of the things I have been helping people with recently.

I have been sitting with professionals, reviewing their CVs and portfolios, helping them prepare for interviews, correcting how they introduce themselves and teaching them how to talk about their experience in a way that makes sense to the person sitting across from them.

And the beautiful part is watching the difference.

Someone who initially says, “I do not even know what to say about myself,” suddenly walks into an interview knowing exactly what they bring to the table.

Some have gone on to get offers.

That is why I keep saying that having the skill is only one part of the equation.

You also need to know how to communicate it.

Because the person sitting across from you cannot see everything you have done in your head.

You have to help them see it.

So the next time someone asks you, “Tell me about yourself,” please do not start with your date of birth. 😂

Tell them who you are professionally, what you do, the kind of problems you know how to solve and the value you can bring.

Your story matters.

But in an interview, your value needs to be@ clear.

And if you have ever sat in an interview and suddenly forgot everything you have ever achieved in your life, please tell me I am not the only one. 😂

What does growth actually look like when you are inside the business?

Sometimes, it looks like a company trying to get its first users.

Sometimes, it looks like a business preparing for investors.

Sometimes, it is a founder trying to enter a new market, build visibility or find the right strategic partner.

And sometimes, what looks like a simple growth problem is actually something much deeper.

Over the past few years, we have worked with more than 20 businesses across different industries, and one thing has become clear: the problem a business brings to the table is not always the problem it actually needs to solve.

We have helped businesses build demand before launch, develop user acquisition and onboarding systems, strengthen investor readiness, identify opportunities, improve their positioning and connect with strategic partners.

We have also learned that growth rarely happens because of one activity.

It happens when strategy, intelligence, relationships and ex*****on start working together.

That is the kind of work we do at BridgePoint.

Not simply asking, “What do you need?”

But asking:

“What is really holding this business back, and what needs to happen next?”

If you’re building, expanding, raising capital or looking for the right strategic partnerships, DM “GROW.”

Let’s talk about what the next stage could look like for your business.

Happy Sunday 🤍

Thank God for how far we have come.

Since September, so much has happened at BridgePoint. New conversations, new opportunities, partnerships, lessons, growth and so many things we prayed for that are gradually becoming reality.

Today, we pause from the work and simply say:

Thank You, Lord.

For the doors You opened.
For the ones You closed.
For the people You brought our way.
For the strength to keep building.
And for everything still ahead of us.

May God continue to guide our steps, bless the work of our hands and lead BridgePoint into greater opportunities and greater impact.

Happy Sunday from BridgePoint Growth & Consulting. 🤍

Happy Social Saturday! 🤝🏽

19 days into the September Challenge and honestly, a lot has happened.

New conversations have started. New people have been discovered. Ideas have turned into collaborations, and partnerships have started forming simply because people chose to connect.

And that is the part of networking we sometimes underestimate.

You don’t always know which conversation will become your next client, partner, referral, opportunity or even a life-changing relationship.

Sometimes it starts with a simple:

“Hi, I came across your work and I’d love to connect.”

So today, don’t just scroll.

Connect with someone. Start a conversation. Support someone’s work. Introduce two people who should know each other.

You never know what that one connection can become.

Happy Social Saturday! 🥂

And yes, we’re still going with BridgePoint’s 30 Days Challenge. 🚀
