PEOPLE
Do you have the right people?
Hire for aptitude, attitude and agility.

Is your team built to win?

@KYLEPLACY
Keys to High Performing Teams
1. Everyone talks and listens in roughly equal measure, keeping
contributions short and sweet.
2. Members face one another, and their conversations and
gestures are energetic.
3. Members connect directly with one another—not just with the
team leader.
4. Members carry on back-channel or side conversations within
the team.
5. Members periodically break, go exploring outside the team,
and bring information back.

The most valuable form of
communication is face-to-
face. E-mail and texting are
the least valuable.

Successful teams of the
future…

…obsess over every
aspect of the consumer
experience.

PERSONA
Do you know your customer?
Do you understand their behavior,
motivations, goals and demographics?

PERSONA
a semi-fictional representation of your ideal
customer based on market research and
real data about your existing customers.

acquisition.

expect a reply within one
hour.

responsible to keeping

Final thoughts…

Your PEOPLE should develop
