No matter what problem or challenge you face in business, there is only one core answer- PEOPLE. No matter what the issue is ( stock, finance,property, systems etc) someBODY has to fix it. Ideally it's a collective group of smart and proactive individuals with a shared mission of overall business success.Forget the silo's. Forget the internal competition. Forget the ego. In safe work environments where great people are motivated to contribute their best efforts, passionate about best outcomes for the whole and strive to be better than their last record breaking result, overcoming challenges is rewarding and motivating. Its not about if- it's about how and when.I look for people who want to be better than good. Here to help. Contribute. People who make it work and care about everyone in the organisation. Feedback is feeding the business and the business sustains the team and so it goes. My firm belief is that we must surround ourselves with the best and the brightest and give them the scope and autonomy they need to surprise themselves and out perform their own expectations.The question I need to ask myself every day is this.... So, what environment are you creating today Alice?
