John Jonas

OnlineJobs.ph founder and delegation educator

John Jonas is the founder of OnlineJobs.ph. His Course Correct biography places him in Utah and traces his experience of hiring workers in the Philippines to his first hire in January 2006. He connects that decision with the development of a business that gives him more room for family life and other interests.

John's chapter considers why owners hesitate to hire even when their workload is limiting the business. He describes the time needed to train someone and the difficulty of making that investment while already busy. His approach begins with transferring a task the owner understands well enough to explain.

Ongoing working relationships are an important part of his account. John encourages readers to provide instruction and allow time for a new person to learn, rather than expect an immediate perfect result. Delegation becomes a process of building a team and improving how work is shared.

His contribution also considers the effects of remote work on the people hired and their families. Within Course Correct, John offers the perspective of a founder whose experience with a distributed team shaped both his business and his understanding of how he wants to spend his time.
