FROM ALICIA'S TRAINING
HIRING TALENT
- Do you have someone who just gives you solutions or just brings you the problems?
- Never settle for someone who gives you pieces of your job back; get someone who shares in your goals and vision to get the job done.
- Make sure you have someone who knows what they want or is always looking for it; don't get stuck with someone who always seems lost.
- Wouldn't you love to have someone on your team who pushes you, challenges your thinking, and always wants to raise the bar?
- Require that your people associate themselves without Talented individuals so that they're always attracting more talent.
- Talent isn't afraid to fail. The quicker they fail, the quicker they grow.
RETAINING TALENT
- Be aware that the people around you follow your intensity.
- Never stop pouring into your people.
- Know when your team members need recovery time.
- Putting people in the right roles is key; even talented people can only stretch so far and will eventually snap when the pressure is high if they aren't in the right role.
- A good match to a role maximizes a person's strengths and they are in the best position to succeed.
- Constantly gauge your Talent's level of engagement and productivity.
- Find your talent the right coach to help them grow.
