Picking People

Most of the plan has been documented. Phase two consists of picking the right people. My task is much greater than anything I could accomplish on my own. I’ll do what’s needed to incentivize, recruit, and retain those needed for the successful implementation of my launch. Some will stay aboard the team and grow with my organization, others will drift away to get other things accomplished but putting them into the desired roles comes first.

In order to construct a team you’ve got to have a clear understanding of what you want to accomplish. I do. Next, each phase of the plan will require unique skills, most of which I don’t possess. Having a clear understanding of what’s needed will afford me the opportunity, when seeking team members, to ask for those that possess the skills needed and if the person I’m asking doesn’t possess the skill, ask who they know that does possess the skill.

Today, Friday, May 8, 2020, I am grateful that:

I’ve been granted some discernment in determining what’s needed to accomplish what’s next. The tasks, the skills needed for the tasks, and what I’m willing to give in order to accomplish said tasks.

I’m willing to concede that I’m unable to do it all myself. I am willing to share my goals, desires, and most of my purpose(not all) in order to compel others to lend me their abilities. I’d never willingly or unwillingly forsake them or take advantage of their willingness to assist and I’m willing to give them significant compensation for their abilities.

Based on my current state, I’m aware of the need to reread a book and revisit the lessons set forth within its pages. Years ago I asked a great friend of mine about books on leadership and team building. He immediately offered this title. I read it and read again a couple of months later. But that was years ago and I’ll need to revisit its pages as I’m unable to recall all of its lessons.

Have you completed your plan?

Can you complete every item within the plan?

Are there components within your plan others can complete more effectively than you?

Are you willing to ask those people for assistance?

What are you willing to give them for their expertise?

What leadership qualities do you need to improve?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
