In this episode of The Bootstrapped Operator, I unpack Patrick Lencioni’s powerful “Ideal Team Player” model — a must-know framework for COOs building lean, high-performing SaaS teams. You’ll learn: Why humility, hunger, and people smarts are non-negotiable for your next hire How to spot common team-killers like The Bulldozer or The Skillful Politician Practical ways I apply this as a COO in hiring, coaching, and self-reflection Why this model helps bootstrapped teams do more with less — and with less drama This one's for the operator who knows that the right team is your secret weapon.
💬 Let’s connect and swap notes — especially if you’re building a SaaS team without outside funding.
I’m looking to meet more COOs and calm operators.
