Reality Check For Managers

"People are not your most important asset. The right people are.” - Jim Collins, the author of Good to Great.

A business will only ever be as successful as the people who work there, and having the right people makes all the difference. Whether you’re a business owner or a manager, we all know how important it is to hire, engage and retain the right people, but few walk the talk of making this task a priority in our day-to-day work.

Here's a reality check for business owners or managers:

• How much time are you spending on hiring, engaging and retaining people?

• Do you track your hires by evaluating their performance? Do they perform and meet (or exceed) your expectations without being managed?”

• Do you have a hiring strategy that fits the long-term visions of your company?

Start devoting your time and attention to setting up a hiring strategy that brings sustainability to your company. Hire the right people the first time - not using a quick fix to fill an immediate position and end up with a bad hire. Hire the right people who will invest themselves in setting your company up for long-term success.

There’s no doubt that hiring the right people is not an easy task, but it’s well worth the effort if you want to build a successful and sustainable company.
