Ensuring That You’re Leading The Right People
Just as much as you need to ensure that you are the leader that your team needs, you must also take a closer look at the team’s individual members from time to time to ensure that they’re the right people, too. Making the wrong choice of hire can undermine the whole team’s performance and it’s your responsibility to make that right. Here are a few ways to do just that.
Be precise with your needs
When it comes to choosing new team members, one of the worst mistakes you can make is to leave your definitions of what you’re looking for so vague that you can end up hiring someone who doesn’t really fit your needs at all. You have to establish the processes that allow you to find qualified team members. This will mean writing effective job descriptions, knowing what duties team members will fulfill, as well as the qualifications that can show you that candidates bring those skills.
