Hiring, which is giving people money, is a lot easier than firing, which is taking money away from them. Hire slowly. You want to hire people with the right qualifications for the right job. You want workers who will comfortably coexist with present staff. Ideally, you want new workers to be smart and hard working. They should not need a lot of hand holding and can either hit the ground running or learn quickly. You want front counter staff to be pleasant and accommodating. You want sales people who are knowledgeable and ambitious. You want customer service employees who are problem solvers and who follow up. You want executives with good communication skills who will get up from behind their desks and lead. Frequently, your best new hires will come from the recommendations of existing employees and from your own networking. If you want the best, you have to be the best yourself. When you have acquired a winning staff, you want to retain them by offering competitive salaries, benefits and perks. Between the first and second interviews, ask prospective employees to read The Action Principles®. What do you think about what they think?
