Getting the right people

According to CEO Mort Mayerson, the job of the leader is to pick the right people to be part of the organization and to create an environment where those people can succeed.  Two jobs of the leader are about

• smart hiring
• creating an environment in which good people can do their best
• removing obstacles to excellent performance
• getting out of the way of the day-to-day work

Jim Collins a business writer in his book “Good to Great” said that great leaders understand three simple truths

1. begin with ‘who’ rather than ‘what’
2. then more easily to adapt to a changing world

If people are on the bus because of who else is on the bus, then it’s much easier to change direction.

Getting the right people in your organization, or team, is essential to top performance because if you don’t have the right people working for you, your overall job as a leader is made so much harder.
