A strong team is the foundation on which to build a successful enterprise.
It’s incredibly challenging to attract and retain top talent.
Tony’s first startup was plagued by the same issue: he despised and feared his team.
With the second one, he resolved to construct it properly by employing a straightforward strategy for fostering cohesive groups.
He used this strategy to grow Zappos into the $1.2 billion business it was when Amazon bought it in 2009.
Professionalism was not his top priority after launching his first company.
The drive and enthusiasm are paramount.
He required a method to eliminate workers who were only interested in the salary.
Here’s what he did: he started compensating workers who resigned with $2,000 each.
Potential employees can be quickly eliminated from consideration by asking one simple question.
In other words, you want to know if they can provide examples of when they went above and beyond in their previous positions.
For proof that they put in effort beyond what is expected of them, ask for concrete examples of their work.
My favourite question to ask when interviewing candidates is “Give me specific examples of ….”
