Hiring the right person for your team is crucial, and the time investment it takes to find that person pays off.
With time, the people you teach will improve. As they improve, you will improve – “a rising tide lifts all boats.” Those you teach will teach you more than what you teach them, and you will feel fulfilled because you made this beautiful world a little bit better.
As a dominant, I have a marked sense of urgency, but I am not as likely to get into the details. As inspiring, I love forming relationships with others and getting to know them, and I can also be spontaneous. Mostly, I am a results-oriented person and am quick to react.
I am grateful for the opportunity I have had as a manager. I have learned and grown so much, even though it was not always easy or painless. I have found no greater satisfaction in my career than seeing others and my company, Celaque, grow.
I had to learn quickly and the hard way, but I did learn. And the more I exposed myself to new projects at work, the more I grew. The same can apply to our companies and with our teams. Even if we have people who have not had practice making decisions, we can teach them and they will also grow.
Onboarding and training are necessary for a new team member’s growth. When people come into our companies, we have to make sure they learn to speak our language – learn to use our tools, follow our processes, and work the way we work.
Sometimes change comes faster than expected, but I’m learning to embrace it. This transition did not happen because I took a vacation, but the time off was crucial in helping me see the change more quickly and fully than I would have otherwise.
Change may not be easy, but it can be good. Turnover, in the end, is a regular occurrence at companies and something that we can manage.
Growing a team is a never-ending process. There will always be ways in which we can improve. As the world changes, so must we. Building a team can be hard, but it is also a great source of pride and expansion.
Building an organization is like sculpting a piece of marble: you are putting together a group of people that will come together to achieve a set of objectives and create something that has not existed before.
