If you're a leader looking to build your dream team, this episode is for you. You can't do it all, so you need to bring in support. But instead of hiring for your team, what if you used the revolutionary approach of casting your team instead? This mindset shift can change the way you lead. I know it did for me.

Traditional hiring has its pitfalls. You may hire the right skills, but miss out on the core values fit that you need. You may hire people you like, such as friends or acquaintances, without thinking about how they'll suit your business. This is even more likely to happen when you're desperate.

When you're building your team, remember this: clarity is key and clarity is kindness. Part of the process I've missed in the past was assessing cognitive skills. You should also understand what motivates someone, as this can reveal their personality and emotional makeup. The Kolbe A Index can help you identify someone's modus operandi, which is crucial to see if they're right for your business.

You need to align people's strengths with what's expected for success in the role. If you've gotten it wrong before, take away the lessons from that experience with you moving forward. Remember that even when you do everything right, you can still miss a critical piece.

The insights I've gained from the Kolbe A Index have helped me improve my process of casting my team. It has also helped me onboard team members when I do find the right fit. Weekly check-ins in the beginning stages of onboarding can also support your casting success.
