Talent = Talent

Talented people know and hang out with talented people; "birds of a feather."  Continuously ask the people you respect: colleagues, suppliers, customers, etc., "Who are some talented people you know that my company should hire?"  People you interact with everyday are some of the most powerful sources of talent you will ever find.  Recruiting talented people should be an everyday strategy executed by everyone in your company.  You can never have enough talented people.  The team with the best players, playing together as a team, wins!

Coaching 101

A supervisor's behavior during the first few seconds of an employee job performance coaching session sets the tone for everything that follows.  You have no more than a sentence or two to establish the climate.  If you set the wrong tone or mood, it's hard to turn things around.  So - get your head right before you open your mouth.

Training vs. Policy

It's a skill set, not a policy that will enable people to solve problems.  If you can't confront those who fail to live up to the expectations or promise, no memo, no policy, and no system will ever make up for the deficiency.

Job References

Neutral, ho-hum job references, full of faint praise are code for a bad reference.  A positive job reference consists of enthusiasm and admiration, and lacks hesitation and hedging.
