Building a competitive company

We have three big levers to pull. Our marketing strategy, the people we're going to do this with, and the management systems, (both soft and hard) that will hold it all together. The thinking at the top is most critical. One right decision can effect the entire health of the company. One policy decision, a misunderstanding of customers, a wrong choice in people, all have long reaching impact.

Where does recruiting break down?

Ans: Selection.

Where we become weak is in understanding a person's work ethic, character, motivations, confused career plans, goals, inherant traits, intellect, culture, the problems of too much charm, beauty, . . . . it's a long list. Most choces don't fall apart because we didn't identify the person's skills, experience, or education incorrectly. Domain skills aren't the tipping point. Character is.

Add your managers to our weekly management letter.
