If you follow any team
sport, you know that a draft or picking of teams has to take place in order to
play. It could be kickball, volleyball, or football. From the playground to the
pro ranks; you have to choose your team. When I was a kid, we would
pick our captains for touch or backyard tackle football with the following
method: you take the football and spin it behind persons back and then
say, “strings, strings, or no strings”, and if they guessed right they were the
captain and could pick the team! It worked, don’t judge me.You would think people wouldn’t pick their staff this way, but the fact of the matter is this type team building does exist in the business world today. You may be responsible for building your team or business and the team that you build will carry out your vision, represents you, and will interact with your customers when you are not present.
Read the following quote,
"In
the long run, no matter how good or successful you are or how clever or crafty,
your business and its future are in the hands of the people you hire."

As you can see hiring (or
drafting) the right person is very important. Here are some tips for
to help build a team that will represent your company and will help develop the
relationships with your customers to create the fanatics you want.
- Hire those you can trust to build up your brand and
your reputation. Remember, they will be the face
of your company when you are not there.
- Make sure the person hiring understand the impact of
bringing the right person in, and their impact on the company.
- Remember the Culture = the way you do things. If you
bring in new hires, make sure they understand your culture. It is your
responsibility to train new hires on how you do it at your company.
Get
better about how you pick your Team.
