The Real Reason I Hire More Women (Here's What I Found)

There’s a hiring lesson I didn’t expect to learn, but it’s been one of the most consistent patterns in my business. Over the years, the people who showed up, followed through, and made the biggest impact on my teams have often been women. Not always, but often enough that I had to stop and really look at why. In this episode, I share what I’ve observed, starting with my own co-founder. Nicole and I built our business on professional respect first, not convenience. And that decision changed everything. What stands out most is not talent. It’s how people work. Here’s what I’ve seen consistently: • Willingness to take ownership without hesitation • Ability to collaborate without competing internally • Strong instincts when it comes to people and decisions • Discipline in execution, not just ambition We also talk about something most people overlook. Momentum. Setting goals you can actually hit builds confidence and progress. Missing big goals over and over does the opposite. This isn’t a conversation about gender. It’s about patterns, performance, and what actually moves a business forward. If you’re serious about building a strong team, this episode will give you a different lens to look through. #teammanagement #leadershipskills #businessstrategy #entrepreneurship #100mba Links Email me here: Omar@100MBA.net Send your questions here: https://100mba.net/q Follow Omar: https://www.youtube.com/@100mba https://www.instagram.com/omarzenhom/ https://www.facebook.com/ozenhom https://www.tiktok.com/@theomarz https://www.linkedin.com/in/omarzenhom/ https://x.com/TheOmarZenhom Timestamps: 00:00 The Hiring Pattern I Couldn’t Ignore 01:02 The Partner Who Changed Everything 03:08 The Advantage Most Teams Miss 04:09 This Isn’t About Politics 05:50 The Buck Stops Here 07:13 Why Some Teams Actually Last 09:31 The Time Factor 12:29 The Skill That Keeps People Around 14:07 What You Should Really Hire For 16:05 The One Thing To Take With You Why I've Always Hired More Women | $100 MBA Show ep. 2766
