First who then what
This year I've been taking my time to build the right team of people to support my business. I've found consistently, that the people I want to work with are enthusied about my business and what we are offering before they even know there's a slot on my team.
The relationship gets built. The foundation for working well together gets laid out. Then the roles they can best fill become self-evident. As Jim Collins states in his book (Good to Great...) first get the right people on the bus, then figure out where to drive it.
The simple truth is that if you begin with 'who' rather than 'what', you can more easily adapt to a changing world. That's how from 1973 to 1998, Wells Fargo went from buildup to breakthrough results.
Simple truths don't just apply to big business. Each of us can apply them in our own smaller businesses too.
