The Key to Scaling Your Business: Aligning People
By: Lisa Mininni

Scaling a business isn’t just about increasing revenue—it’s about sustaining growth while maintaining efficiency. As your company expands, new challenges emerge, especially when it comes to talent. Finding and retaining skilled employees becomes essential to long-term success.

One of the most critical factors in scaling is aligning people with the right roles. When employees are placed where they naturally excel, engagement and productivity soar. Understanding how individuals think, make decisions, and generate ideas helps you build a high-performing team.

How to Align People for Success

To ensure the right fit for each role:

✔ Measure Human Wiring – Identify employees’ strengths and match them to the right positions.
✔ Set Clear Expectations – Provide training and support to help employees grow.
✔ Foster Collaboration – Encourage open communication and teamwork to create a thriving workplace.

A Real-World Success Story

One company faced a staggering 99% employee turnover rate, forcing the manager to spend most of their time interviewing instead of focusing on business growth.

By analyzing the human wiring of top performers and aligning new hires accordingly, turnover dropped from 99% to 0% in just three months. With the right team in place, the manager could focus on strategy, set clear expectations, and cultivate a strong, committed workforce—paving the way for sustainable growth.

Conclusion and Invitation

Scaling isn’t just about expansion—it’s about doing so strategically. Aligning people with the right roles creates a solid foundation for long-term success, allowing your business to grow efficiently and effectively.

Are You Operating on Autopilot?

March 6, 2025 by Lisa Mininni Leave a Comment

The first time I met the CEO of a rapidly growing company, I listened—not just to his words, but to the cues of his human wiring.

As he shared about his business, I quickly discerned that he was someone who liked to act on his own ideas, thrived on verbal communication, juggled multiple tasks, and preferred a loosely structured work environment.

Curious about his company’s growth, I asked if things were slipping through the cracks. His immediate response? “Yes.” I continued with a series of targeted questions, each met with the same realization. Finally, he paused and asked, “How did you know?”

The answer is simple: When you understand how people are wired—how they process information, make decisions, and respond under pressure—you can anticipate challenges before they arise. And when you communicate in a way that aligns with their natural wiring, it’s the highest form of respect and connection.

In fast-growing companies, human wiring becomes amplified under pressure. If not managed, it influences everything—from decision-making to team dynamics to company culture. Many people unknowingly operate on autopilot, only to wonder why they aren’t achieving their desired results.

When you understand human wiring, you can put the right systems, leadership distinctions, and teams in place to achieve success a lot easier.

Understanding Human Wiring When Coaching Others

January 23, 2025 by Lisa Mininni Leave a Comment

In the fast-paced world of business, we often focus on strategies, technologies, and tools to gain an edge. Yet, one of the most powerful factors influencing success remains overlooked: understanding human wiring. When you tap into the unique ways individuals are wired, you can transform not only your business but also the lives of those who contribute to it.

What is Human Wiring?

Human wiring refers to the innate ways people process information, communicate, and respond to their environment. Unlike skills or experience, which can be learned and refined, wiring is intrinsic. It shapes how individuals naturally approach problem-solving, decision-making, and interpersonal interactions.

For example, some people thrive on structure and detailed processes, while others excel in high-energy, spontaneous environments. Neither is better or worse—just distinct. Recognizing and valuing these differences can lead to profound improvements in team dynamics and organizational performance.

Why It Matters

In our recent Master Class, Introduction: Scale & Systematize Your Business, one client was wondering how best to coach an employee who was naturally wired high in autonomy. If someone is higher in this element, they:

Prefer their ideas best and will act on them.
Desire to implement their idea.
Accept conflict in defending their ideas and will drive through resistance or push through change.

While you always want to ensure that you take all of their drivers into consideration, if this is the highest you want to make sure that you clarify expected results, ask them how they could achieve it, and allow latitude in getting the result.

Why? Because this individual is motivated by freedom and autonomy to determine how they can accomplish their work. They prefer limited oversight and want to drive results their way. However, they readily accept conflict and use it as a constructive problem-solving technique rather than a stumbling block.

When people are aligned with roles that suit their wiring and coached accordingly, they operate in their zone of genius. This alignment reduces frustration and burnout while boosting engagement and efficiency.

A Competitive Advantage

Businesses that invest in understanding human wiring gain a distinct advantage. They cultivate environments where individuals feel seen, valued, and empowered to contribute their best. This not only drives measurable outcomes but also fosters a culture of trust and innovation.

Unlocking Productivity Through Human Wiring

January 16, 2025 by Lisa Mininni Leave a Comment

By: Lisa Mininni

In a world obsessed with to-do lists, time management tools, and productivity hacks, it’s easy to overlook the most critical factor in getting things done: your unique human wiring.

Understanding your natural tendencies and aligning your work to complement them isn’t just a nice idea—it’s a game-changer for sustainable productivity. When you work with your innate wiring, you can not only improve your productivity but also enhance your overall sense of fulfillment.

What Is Human Wiring?

Human wiring refers to the natural preferences that influence how we create ideas, process information, and make decisions. Unlike learned skills or habits, your wiring is deeply ingrained. Through self-development, it can be leveraged.

Think of your wiring as the operating system of your brain. Just as you wouldn’t install Mac software on a PC, trying to force yourself into methods of working that clash with your wiring will only lead to frustration and burnout.

The Cost of Misalignment

Many professionals struggle with traditional productivity advice because it doesn’t consider their wiring. For example, a consultant was wired to create and act on his own ideas and produce fast results. He ended up working with clients who got so big and corporate-like bogging down implementation. He wondered why he was de-energized.

It made perfect sense when we looked at it from the lens of human wiring. I suggested that he vet his clients more closely making sure they met his Preferred Client Profile. He needed to work with smaller, well-funded entrepreneurs, who took fast and decisive action. When I mentioned his new Preferred Client Profile, it clicked for him. The new client profile is much more in alignment with his natural human wiring that needs fast results and decisive action.

When we force ourselves into environments that don’t fit, we not only fail to achieve our goals but also experience diminished motivation and increased stress.

How to Leverage Your Wiring for Peak Productivity

Here are three practical steps to align your productivity strategy with your wiring:

1. Learn About Your Natural Wiring

When you understand your natural human wiring, you discover ways to align your human wiring with your environment. A good place to start is the Wired to Win 101: How Are You Hardwired happening on March 14, 2025 where you will learn customized ways that work for your unique wiring pattern. Understanding what’s underneath why you procrastinate on certain tasks leads to troubleshooting ways to get it done more effortlessly. You’re not expending energy fighting your wiring—instead, you’re channeling that energy toward meaningful work.

2. Tailor Your Work Environment

Once you understand your wiring, design your environment to support it. This doesn’t necessarily mean find another career. When a professional who needed his alone time was bombarded with interruptions all day every day, I asked if he could build a day where he worked from home instead of going into the office each day. When he implemented it, he was more productive, his employees took more initiative, and he got his alone time to strategize on ways to grow his practice.

3. Proactively Get Your Innate Motivators Met

If you’re energized by face-to-face interaction, make sure to get it met each day. Incorporate team-based projects, brainstorming sessions or face-to-face interactions, like networking. If you need your alone time, create a distraction-free zone with noise-canceling headphones or dedicated quiet hours.

Final Thoughts

Productivity isn’t about forcing yourself to do something. It’s about creating an approach that honors who you are. By understanding your wiring, tailoring your environment, and aligning tasks with your natural way you execute, you’ll not only get more done but enjoy the process, too.

As I often say, “Success is sustainable when it’s aligned with your natural wiring.

Building Better Teams and Company Cultures Through Human Wiring Insights

January 9, 2025 by Lisa Mininni Leave a Comment

Have you ever responded to someone without truly understanding what they were saying? It happens to all of us. Often, we find ourselves physically present but mentally disengaged, leading to misunderstandings and missed opportunities for connection. This lack of presence stems from what can be described as an “unaware way of being.”

An “unaware way of being” refers to a state where a person is not conscious of their surroundings, actions, or even their own thoughts. This lack of awareness often manifests in several ways:

Being lost in thought
Failing to register the details of a situation
Lack of focus
Unintentionally impacting others through unconsidered behavior
Resistance to alternative perspectives or feedback

This phenomenon is not only relevant to individual actions but also plays a significant role in how human wiring affects communication. Human wiring refers to the innate tendencies and preferences that shape how individuals create ideas, process thought, and interact with others. When people are unaware of their own wiring or the wiring of those around them, it can lead to misunderstandings, conflict, and inefficiencies—both in personal relationships and in the workplace.

The Workplace Impact of Ineffective Communication

Research reveals that 86% of employees attribute workplace failures to ineffective communication and poor internal communication skills. Many of these issues could be resolved simply by understanding people’s natural communication styles, which are rooted in their human wiring.

Consider the case of Jerry and Patrick, two team members with contrasting wiring elements:

Jerry is driven by results and prefers to operate independently. He has a natural tendency to debate ideas and remains steadfast in his own approach, often disregarding input he doesn’t find relevant.
Patrick, on the other hand, thrives in a collaborative, team-oriented environment. He values harmony, cooperative interactions, and the open sharing of ideas—not debates.

Without an understanding of their differing communication preferences, tension arises. Jerry might strongly advocate for his ideas, leading Patrick to feel defensive. Over time, Patrick may withhold his ideas entirely, anticipating conflict and misinterpreting Jerry’s debate as a personal attack. This dynamic creates barriers to effective teamwork and stifles innovation.

Building Awareness Through Human Wiring

By fostering awareness of human wiring, Jerry and Patrick can bridge their communication gap and work more effectively together:

For Jerry: He learns to actively seek input from others, recognizing that collaboration can strengthen his ideas and improve team cohesion.
For Patrick: He gains confidence in asserting his ideas, understanding that Jerry’s debating style is not a personal affront but a reflection of his wiring.

This awareness transforms their interactions, enabling more productive conversations and reducing the friction that once hindered their collaboration.

The Broader Implications

Understanding human wiring doesn’t just improve communication within teams; it fosters empathy, adaptability, and mutual respect contributing to a collaborative company culture. Whether in the workplace, at home, or in social settings, recognizing and honoring these innate preferences can unlock deeper connections and greater effectiveness in all aspects of life.

When we move from an “unaware way of being” to intentional awareness, we create opportunities for growth, improved relationships, and meaningful communication. By embracing the principles of human wiring, we can all become better communicators, collaborators, and leaders.
