Are You Ready for an Integrator? When to Hire an Integrator, DOO, or Executive Assistant

August 10, 2023 • Casey Gromer • Episode 96

There seems to be a lot of confusion for founders when deciding which position to hire next to support them in the business. This week, we will discuss the difference between an integrator, a DOO (director of operations), and an Executive Assistant. We’ll also discuss what point you’ll need to hire someone for these positions. This week, episode 96 of Female Founders Breaking Boundaries asks if you are ready for an integrator!

Have you ever felt like you were WAY too busy, stressed out, burnt out, and overwhelmed, so you were advised to delegate some tasks to take things off your plate and free up some time? Except, maybe it didn't work. If getting out of the day-to-day in your business was as simple as hiring more people, then why are you still feeling overwhelmed and burned out? You are not alone! Sometimes, simply delegating tasks doesn’t work and instead shifts your workload from “doing” to “managing.”

I invite you to use the exercise that our own C-Suite clients use to take the first step in turning your team into a well-oiled, self-managed machine- and get you out of the delegation catch-22. Download the exercise here to get started!

In this episode of Female Founders Breaking Boundaries, I’m sharing the importance of knowing who you need to fill certain roles in your company and actionable steps you can take right now to hire the right person for that role.

Some of the things I cover in this episode are:

What is an integrator and what does it do?
The role of a director of operations.
The role of an executive assistant.
Knowing when to hire for an EA, DOO, or Integrator.
