Welcome again to this month's rolling Q&A. We will take questions throughout the remainder of the week or so.
Introduction
Here's a broad list of where we feel our expertise sits:
Recruitment (and how best to use external recruiters),
Remote work and managing remote teams
Outsourcing and managing outsourced teams and freelancers (APAC focus)
Time management (a recap + a few more Au techniques)
Time management and processes for sales & sales roles
Managing stakeholders in family business' (carry the donkey)
Having said that if we'll always take a look and if something is outside our wheelhouse we'll do our best to refer out to another BowTied or somewhere that can assist you.
As always if you'd prefer to submit (more) anonymously, you can reach us via
bowtiedhippopotamus@gmail.com
Or on the bird app (Direct Messages welcomed)

An Update
Long time subscribers and supporters may have noticed that it's been a relatively quieter start to the calendar year in terms of our posting frequency, both for our humble publication and on the bird app (is it dying? Is it not? Is the algo broken ? Based Musk? Hellscape ? Echo cha- we digress).
Behind the scenes we've been working on new content to better pipeline and provide a higher degree of consistency for you – especially as some of the more Operations focused inadvertently turn into longer notes as
1) they're always just slightly more detailed and tricky than you think
2) we unsurprisingly hold strong beliefs that Things Should Be Done A Certain Way
(are we right, are they effective? Who knows? – this publication and platform is honestly part of their stress test)
We've also recently launched Substack chat – as far as we can tell there's no way to post anonymously but at least your posts and conversations are only linked to your Substack account. We'll share specific posts and open Q&A sessions in there, and we've also got 5 or so "general" topics for the broad subjects that we cover.
Looking forward to hearing from you
