Episode 139: How to Attract Top Talent and Build a High Performing Team

No matter which industry you’re in, chances are your organization is struggling to recruit and retain top talent. If you’re frustrated with constantly hiring folks who aren’t a good fit, or with losing great team members, this episode has the tactical strategies you need to build a high performing team that wants to stay a part of your organization long term.

Some of the key takeaways include:

• Your organization needs a clear vision. Does your team know the vision the company is working towards and how they fit into that vision?
• Make sure each person on your team has a key performance indicator that they are accountable for. This tells them exactly what they do and do not need to be focused on, and gives them a way to showcase and celebrate their contributions.
• Build an employee persona. If you think about the last three members you hired who were a great personality, skills, and culture fit, what were those qualities?
