HOW TO HIRE
WINNERS
Choosing the right people
can make or break a company
The driving
force of a brand is not capital, or marketing, or sales, but people. Employees are the most important aspect of a
company because they run the operations.
Leaders and bosses are not able to run every aspect of the business on
their own. Thus we need to hire winners.
A winner is
someone who will bring value to the company.
Of course, finding one is much easier said than done. However, here are four great traits that will
help identify the winners:
- Hunger
There are people who want
a job, and there are those that want success.
Having the hunger to succeed is usually a very good sign that you have a
winner. People with a hunger for success
tend to be far more meticulous, driven and determined to help the company gain
success.
Identify them through
their track record, professional and personal breakthroughs, and significant
achievements.
- Willing to go the extra mile
There is a multitude of
people who believe that they should only work within specific parameters for
some reason of rather. There is a need
for staff that can multi-task across several roles. This kind of workers usually exhibits a
strong desire to immerse themselves in all tasks and learn skills beyond their
job scope and they are willing to do more without being forced.
- Team player
In business, the
functionality of the team is the most important element in building
success. Team players are winners worth
hiring because they can enhance team dynamics and galvanise their colleagues
towards striving for greater success.
- Accountability
People who are accountable
are keepers. These people take pride in
their task and will always push towards improving and fine-tuning their
operational skills and task management. These
are the ones that are willing to take ownership of their tasks and accept the responsibility
if they make a serious mistake.
