Build Your Team

In the Jim Collins book ‘Good to Great‘ a study is done of over 1,400 businesses and what differentiates the good from the great. A key finding came down to the importance of the team, or as Jim put it, the people on your bus. It is no secret that surrounding yourself with great people will improve your results.

But what was is interesting is that the good companies would find their purpose and then build a team. While the great companies would build their team and then find their purpose.

To summarise, what Jim said is that you need to get the right people on your bus (And the wrong people off). Then once the people are right you need to get them into the right seats and then, only then, work out where the bus is going!

If you are struggling to find your purpose in your life or business right now, why not work on your team? When you have a strong team of people supporting you not only will your purpose be clearer, it will also be much closer to being quickly within your reach!

First who, then what.
