INTRODUCTION
Your business is flourishing, but to keep growing you need more people. And not just warm bodies, but the right people. How do you get the right team members on the bus and get them into the right seats?

This is Talent Optimization, and it's a key building block of a high-performing organization. To keep growing, you need to keep investing in the right kind of people.

BUILD YOUR TOOLBOX
This show covers our two-part process for Finding New Talent for Your Team.

1. Finding the Right Names
2. Right Names, Right Seats

Finding the Right Names: Expanding Your Network
One of the challenges with finding talent is building connections in the right sub-communities of your region. We often navigate to certain industries, identifying people who are similar to us. It takes willful intentionality to focus on building bridges into other networks. Tapping into the potential of everyone allows you to find the high-potential candidates your team needs to consider.

Networking is a great opportunity to build relationships in new arenas. I thought I knew so many people in our region, but connecting to Synapse introduced me to new people I never would have met otherwise. Here are a few organizations you could connect to:

Networking Options

• Synapse Hubs (https://www.synapsehubs.com/): Synapse has facilitates connections between businesses and nonprofit groups for community and economic development. Visit a Hub for free anytime!
• BNI
• 212
• Create your own!

Brandon Souba covered Networking on his weekly IBGR show in October 2020, offering great insights on how to network with success.

Right Names, Right Seats: Making Talent Optimization Work for You
Take a good hard look at your company. Is it performing at its absolute best? If you’re like most leaders, you struggle to overcome common business challenges like turnover, employee disengagement, a changing market, bad hires (the list goes on and on). In spite of your best efforts and your best intentions, you can’t quite accelerate your company’s performance.

If you can relate to this everyday scenario, you likely struggle from a talent gap. This gap causes low productivity, poor results, and missed opportunities—it’s the reason why most companies fail to perform at their highest potential.

If you’re tired of falling short, talent optimization is the answer.
