Are you picking the right people for your team?
When deciding on team members, how do you decide who is the best fit? Is it the best overall talent or are you looking for specific characteristics that will fit best into your current collection of individuals? Over the years, I have compiled some helpful tips on how to choose your team. Below are some of my favorite things to focus on when putting together your team of all-stars. Make sure you comment below on what I missed or tips you use. Enjoy.
- Great work ethic. Someone who has the drive to be the best is someone I want on my squad. This person will be able to develop into many different things with your guidance. Do they have what it takes? Do they have the intangibles?
- Being coachable means having the ability to adapt to what is being asked of you. This shows they are putting the team first and are willing to make sacrifices for the betterment of the group. Coach-ability is also one of the key factors of a growth mindset.
- Find people that care. This seems simple, but it is crucial that you are able to find people that will have the same core values as the group. Do they care about their own success or the success of the team? They also must have a tremendous amount of care for the other team members. Are you someone who cares about the group?
