People Profits Principle #66
There are ways to clone your best employees
Would you enjoy working every day with the
same engaged, smart people who share your values/goals?
If I ask a business owner or CEO: "Who is your best employee?":
- 9 out of 10 times they can identify someone IMMEDIATELY
- They know them by NAME and specifically what THEY DO
- The phrase "THEY GET IT" is used
When you ask them "WHY?" they are the best employee:
- The answer is always LESS CLEAR
- Many times there is a definite LACK OF OBJECTIVITY
- How long they have BEEN THERE is prominent
- They STRUGGLE to pin point the reasons
As the conversation moves forward:
- The "whys" come into FOCUS
- MORE objectivity comes into view
- SPECIFIC personality traits, values, thought processes
- And most importantly, WHAT RESULTS THEY ACHIEVING
But there is a very real DANGER in trying to do this
