The`Right` People Are Your Biggest Asset and the Keys to a Winning Team

As you steer your ship into the biggest storm the business and domestic world has seen for many years, you need to consider who is making a positive contribution, whose contribution needs to be stronger - and who needs to 'walk the plank'.

In times like these, I return to Jim Collins and his classic book `Good to Great`. Collins says that you need to have the right people 'on the bus' (if you will excuse the change of mertaphor) and the wrong people need to leave the bus (or find their best seat) before you figure out where to drive it. As Collins also suggests, there are brutal facts to confront and they can make the difference between success and failure – especially now.

When finding the right people for your team, Collins suggests three practical disciplines -

? when in doubt, do not hire - keep looking, you should limit growth based on your ability to attract enough of the right people. It is not enough to offer better money. Money does not bring in better people but it does keep the right people in place.

? when you know you need to make a people change, act immediately but make sure they aren't just in the wrong seat.

? put your best people on your biggest opportunities, not your biggest issues and if you sell off your problems (or drop that part of your business), do not lose your best people in the process.

To return to our ship metaphor, when you already have your people on board, they need to earn their passage. You need to assess who is effective and who isn't and determine if you can change their mindset and performance or if you need to move them on and cut your ...their) losses. It may be tough to remove people that you know well in tough times but it is your business - and your good people - that may be dragged down if you ‘carry passengers’ in the business.

In rough seas, the right people are your biggest asset and the wrong people can drag you down with all hands. Having the right people is more than just good practice – it is an essential survival technique.

You can learn from the people who are barely getting by, from those who are doing fairly well or from those at the top of the heap. Talk to people who are already successful and find out how they did it. That’s what the book, “Quantum Leap to Success” is about. Its purpose is to provide success principles and philosophies from those who have excelled. They’ve already been down the road and you can learn from their experience. Why reinvent the wheel when someone else already did a great job of creating it? Success is within you, so go and be successful!
