What does it take to build a team that performs —and stays?

A strong business starts with a strong team. In this course, Jon Klonsky (CEO of HaloKinetic and former co-founder of Something Digital) shares practical frameworks for leading, hiring, and retaining high-performing teams. You’ll learn how to communicate clearly, define success, and create a culture that balances people, profit, and customers — the three sides of Jon’s Operational Triangle.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Apply the Operational Triangle to balance team, customer, and profit goals
  • Communicate expectations with clarity and authenticity
  • Set measurable performance objectives that drive growth and retention
  • Hire for both aptitude and attitude — and know the difference
  • Build long-term retention strategies rooted in culture and trust

By the end, you’ll have a leadership playbook for building teams that are motivated, accountable, and ready to grow — with or without you in the room.
