Team Selection & Talent Strategy
Build the right squad. The right people, in the right roles, with the right mindset — and no single point of failure.
Most Teams Aren't Built — They're Assembled by Accident
You hired fast to fill gaps. Now you have:
- People in roles that don't match their strengths
- A team that looks the same because you hired clones of yourself
- One or two people who "hold everything together" — and if they leave, you're in trouble
- No system for attracting A-players — you just hope they find you
This isn't a people problem. It's a system problem. And systems can be built.
What's Covered
Role Design
Define roles by outcomes, not tasks. Every position has clear success criteria and a direct line to business objectives.
Hiring for Roles, Not Clones
Build a diverse squad with complementary skills. Stop hiring people who think like you — hire people who fill your gaps.
Talent Attraction
Become a destination employer. Employer brand, candidate experience, and an "always be hiring" mindset.
Retention Systems
Keep your best people. Growth paths, recognition cadences, and a culture worth staying for.
Eliminating Single Points of Failure
No one person should hold the keys to the kingdom. Cross-training, documentation, and succession planning.
Hiring Playbooks
Scorecards, interview frameworks, and structured evaluation. Remove gut-feel from the most important decision you make.
