It’s a fact that it takes a great product to help make a company successful, and it’s also true that products don’t get built without talented managers leading strong teams. If your goal is to become a successful manager or supervisor, you have to start by building a great team.
1. Assessing Your Needs
Before you begin your search for team members, take a look at what you’re trying to build or accomplish. Form an assessment of the skills and knowledge your people are going to need in order to be successful. Also, honestly assess the skills and knowledge that you bring to the table. Once you’ve done that, start looking for qualified candidates.
If you already have a team, do any of your current members meet the needs of the new project? If yours is a company that encourages moving people between teams and departments, are there people already in the company who would be a good fit? If you have to post the job outside the company, make sure you clearly spell out the requirements in order to get the right people applying.
