FASO

In ALL IN, best-selling author Mike Michalowicz reveals FASO — a powerful framework designed to help business leaders build high-performing, world-class teams. Known as the ALL IN Formula, FASO consists of four essential elements:

FIT + ABILITY + SAFETY + OWNERSHIP = an ALL IN Team

When you apply FASO within your organization, you bridge the gap — eliminating the barriers that hold teams back, like fear, doubt, and uncertainty, and replace them with confidence, clarity, and trust. A team where employees are the right fit, have the ability to thrive, and are empowered by a leader who fosters safety and encourages ownership is simply unstoppable.

The 5-Star Fit Method

When leaders read ALL IN, we get the most questions about The 5-Star Fit Method featured in Chapter 4. The 5-Star Fit Method is a proven five-step hiring process designed to help you identify and hire only top-performing candidates — the true 5-Star Fits.

You can read more about The 5-Star Fit Method in the free excerpt of ALL IN below:

Or, if you’ve already read ALL IN, we’ve got a free resource for you: The 5-Star Fit Method Guide.

As Mike mentions in Chapter 4...

The 5-Star Fit Method was created by Danielle Mulvey, 5-Star hiring maverick.

Who is Danielle Mulvey?

Bitten by one too many bad hires, Danielle Mulvey hit her breaking point when she wanted to call in sick to her own company to avoid a toxic employee she was responsible for hiring.

From that day, Danielle made it her mission to figure out exactly what makes a candidate a perfect fit for the role at hand (and, no, it’s not based on their resume and a one-off interview). Fast forward 20 years, Danielle’s 5-Star Employee Hiring System™ has cracked the code on how to recruit, hire, and retain dream talent who do their jobs better than any owner.

Today, Danielle owns multiple businesses that generate over $50M in annual revenue. Thanks to her teams of 5-Star Employees, Danielle only spends 10 hours per week overseeing the operations of these businesses which affords her the freedom to host the Profit First Nation Podcast and team up with Mike on ALL IN.
