THE RIGHT PEOPLE FOR YOUR PATH
Accurately Articulate Your Objectives
For smooth progress and development of your company, you need the right people in every position, not just in management.
In practice, entrepreneurs often discover only after a certain period of working together, how well individuals contribute to the company's goals. Whether or not they hinder or even block the successful pursuit of those goals.
The key to gaining clarity in this context lies in your ability to accurately articulate your own objectives and those of your company.
- What is your long-term vision?
- What are your objectives for the next 3-5 years?
- What changes need to be made for you to achieve your goals?

You May Already Have The Best People!
If you know where you’re going and what it takes to get there, you can recruit your team with greater accuracy and find the right people for your trajectory. You may already have the best people!
Consider this simple but powerful question:
Would you enthusiastically rehire all your current employees?
- How well does he or she fit into our team?
- Are you getting the desired output at the required standard?
- Is this an individual willing to be flexible and embrace new methods if requirements change?
The crucial point is your own clarity and consistency!
Experience has taught me that company leaders and managers often take too long to address issues relating to problem employees. This can be costly in terms of stress, wasted energy, and money that could be better invested in other people or areas.
It’s important to know how you interact with each other and to communicate with clarity and consistent terminology in order to move forward effectively and efficiently. In other words - you lead by example how you’d like team members to think of themselves and each other.
