Your business is no different to
any other, it is simply a group of people that have joined together to achieve
a mutual outcome or result that will be beneficial to all stakeholders. It is
irrelevant what the objectives of your business or organisation might be, the
success or the quality of the outcomes you will enjoy is directly proportional
to the calibre of the people within your organisation. Your most valuable asset
owned by your organisation is thus your people. They will serve as the greatest
determining factor that will determine how successful your business will be or
in many cases how unsuccessful it will be.
It is for this reason that you
must have a really refined recruitment policy within your business. When the
success of any organisation depends on more than one person to achieve any
outcomes, it becomes imperative that you ensure that you only bring the correct
people with the correct skills into your business. It is not only crucial that
you have the right people sitting in the correct seats on your businesses bus
of success, but that they are all committed to give their best to achieve the
common purpose or vision of the organisation.
When you explore any great
business that has become very successful, the one factor present in all of them
is that they are filled with great people, who are driven to accomplish a
unified purpose and inspired by a great vision. No great success can ever be
achieved in any organisation without the support of everyone within the business.
The secret to building your business and turning it into a huge success is to
fill your business with people that have strengths that support your efforts
and are aligned with the outcomes you are trying to achieve.
Never be shy to fill your teams
with people that are smarter, more skilled or far more talented than you are.
This will equip your business for great achievement and long term sustainable
success. One of the easiest ways to ensure that your business becomes really
successful and a great contributor to all stakeholders is to surround yourself
with people that excel in areas where you struggle. This next piece of advice
may sound obvious and common sense; I assure you that it is by no means common
practice. You should aim to fill all the positions in your business with people
that have strengths and almost feel like their work is fun and what they love
doing. When your management team is smarter, more talented and skilled than you
in their specialised areas, you have built a quality team that will turn your
business into a super organisation.
The message I want to pass onto
you is that it is never your intelligence, experience, knowledge, skill or
background that will decide how successful your business will be. The way your
business turns out will depend on one thing only – Your ability to find, train,
retain and empower the right people. The number one skill you thus need to
develop and hone is the ability to assess, hire and inspire the right people to
deliver their best every day. Always strive to hire people that are authorities
in their field. No one is inspired or driven to succeed by people that act from
a position where they are IN authority. No matter what product or service you
sell, how large your manufacturing facility or warehouse may be, your most
valuable asset will always be the quality of the people in your organisation.
