You're short-staffed, working harder for less, and you keep telling yourself the answer is one more good hire.
But here's what I see over and over with trades, shops, and clinics around here: the people you already pay for are running at half-speed — and it's not their fault. They're waiting on you to approve, decide, or explain. Every time work bounces back to you, the whole team slows to your pace. You've become the bottleneck, so hiring more people just gives you more people to bottleneck.
Before you spend three months and a premium wage chasing someone new, look at utilization. Clear roles, a simple way to decide without you, and one visible number can surface a whole hire's worth of capacity you already own.
