Everyone should “want to be there” and not there
to get a paycheck.
Take time to find the right person for the position
You can always teach skills, but you can not
teach inspiration and dedication
Have the applicants talk to the CEO, the middle
man, and the last new hire so they can learn all
aspects of the company.

Do NOT train by fire
Train on the technical and the personal aspects
of the position
Give the time for appropriate training
Ensure the trainers know the job they are training
others in.

Happy team members will go above and beyond
their minimum standards
Respect goes both ways
Engage in the department
The janitor is as much a part of the team as the CEO
Sometimes you have to roll up your sleeves and join
your team to be a success
Great leaders take the team to ask and listen.
