Who’s On Your Team?

I can’t think of anything more important to success in life than the quality of the people that you hang out with.

For a company, a division, or a department – it is ultimately the quality of the team, the people doing the work, that will make all of the difference. This is why it is so important to be careful about who you hire, and then pay very special attention to the issues that will increase retention and performance.

For a person looking for work, the people with whom you associate during this time can make all the difference. Spend time with positive people, and people who will encourage you and help you network. Stay away from negative, doomsday prediction people who will only drag you down.

And, in general, you become the average of the five adults you spend the most time with. Consider who you want to become, and then go hang out with people who will take you there.

I look forward to your comments. Thanks! Brett Blair – Sanford Rose Associates – Brighton, Executive Search. Specialists in the search and placement of professionals in the automotive manufacturing world.
