TEENA OGBUGOH - BUSINESS PROCESSES & PEOPLE TALK WITH TEENA

IBGR.Network - PROFIT Radio. Everything a business owner needs to start, grow or exit a business. COME GROW WITH US.

Introduction

Every business wants to have the best people and the right people on board because it matters. Hiring good people is hard. What is more, hiring great people is brutally hard. You can have the best strategies and the most sophisticated technologies in the world but none of that would amount to you and your business being effective without great people to put them to work. 

Making the shift for multiplicity involves hiring the right people in terms of skills, knowledge and competences but that is not all as you also need to know that their personalities and values match the values of your company. As an entrepreneur and a business leader, you can be competent as a leader and know the rules of leadership but how do you hire leaders so you can ensure your business is growing and have a succession plan in place? 

Show Objectives – The Why
The focus of the show is to emphasize the importance of hiring the right people who will make your strategies and operations work effectively. It is not enough for business owners and executives to assume that because people are skilled on the job and knowledgeable, then they can fit in the organization. Having the right attitude, energy and drive are important when hiring employees at all levels especially for leadership positions. 

​Key Issues - Owner Perspective:

1. Business owners are fixated in looking to hire “mini-me.”
2. Hiring out of desperation to fill positions.
3. Business owners undermine the importance of clear job descriptions.
4. Hiring managers confuse education with intelligence.
5. Business owners fail to look at the intangible aspects of a potential candidate. 

What You Need to Know – The What

1. The corporate culture of the organization can make or may the type of managers you hire.
2. Fill vacant roles from internal candidates as much as possible.
3. Hiring the right fit can open opportunities for your business.
4. As a business owner, being clear and specific about what you need is crucial in the hiring process.
5. Hire for needs and not want

What You Need to Do – The How

1. Promote from within.
2. Focus on soft skills.
3. Hire for diversity
4. Look for cultural fit.
5. Hire for growth potential.
