Hire a Team Member, not an Employee!

Success stories of your business totally depends on the people who compose your business stories.

There is a vast difference between a team member and employee and its all about appointing leaders ‘Team Member’ and not simply an ‘Employee’ to achieve a common goal to grow your business.

Team Member is someone who focuses on “We” attitude while an employee emphasis on “I” attitude. An employee arrives at the office, performs the allotted task and will leave once the task has been completed. While a Team member invests himself/herself in the business. Team member adopts the Vision, Mission and core values of the business and accordingly will plan strategies to perform the tasks which leads success for themselves, people working with them and the company.

Do not hire a person who has drafted a very good resume or who is the best fit for your criteria. Invest your time in mapping them on - What are his/her views towards your industry, your business, your vision, mission and objectives to grow your business. Hiring is not a race to win but to appoint a right person who wins the race in drafting growth stories for your business.

It might happen that the person to whom you wish to hire possess the additional knowledge, education, experience than yours. Do not resist to hire that person who has more expertise than yours. This will always enhance your leadership and won’t undermine it. The strong team member whom you hire will help to overcome the weakness/gaps by working collectively and this will lead you to the next level.

When we talk about hiring a Team Member is always to remain approachable, ready to listen and accept the new and innovative ideas shared by your Team Member, might at initial stage you may not get clicked adopting the new strategies or plans, but if you try to understand from their perspective and implement it, might that helps you to achieve more than what you are achieving. Constant change and innovation should be routine as it’s essential to cope-up with the fast moving scenario to sustain in the competitive era of the world.

Thus, if a team member is hired, should consider as the best resource, should be valued. This approach will help to make your dream come true in leading your business.
