Episode 67: Hiring Great Humans

Peter and Dan discuss one of the most important aspects in any organization: hiring. They discuss best practices in their own companies, and Dan shares tools that have helped Strategic Coach retain team members for over 25 years.   In this episode: Peter and Dan discuss the idea that most of the talented professionals on Earth aren’t looking for you and your business. To attract their attention, you must show them your ethos, what you stand for, and the type of world you want to create. Peter says the term “work” has a bad connotation, and should be redefined as a cause to which you want to contribute, or someone to whom you want to be a hero. As Dan says, “Properly structured, working is one the great sources of meaning and pleasure in a lifetime.” Dan discusses hiring people for roles that align with their Unique Ability -- an individual’s distinct set of mindsets and capabilities. A core tenet of Strategic Coach is helping entrepreneurs and team members alike focus on their Unique Ability and effectively collaborate.
