Dream team: how to assemble a dream team for the project

The most important part of any business - team. Any businessman knows by heart already bored this axiom. But, as is often the case, especially in the realities of our country, namely, the question "How to build a good team?" businessman and "cut" with a bang pulling back an exam on "How to create a successful project with classroom team. "

This is especially true when it comes to new, trendy right now StartUp format. Here is my recipe for HR management, in part by the example of my "young project" RevolverLab.com.

About how to form a team initially

At the initial stage to find the best of the best in their field will not be easy, and sometimes do not need - it is just "close" you. So look for people of different qualities, "mix" generalists with specialists, encourage friendly competition - and you'll see how soon will fresh ideas.

Hits begins with a properly formulated requirements:

1. Set of professional skills.

2. Experience and the type of company in which he worked putative candidate.

3. Human qualities.

The really important to clearly represent yourself, that should be able to associate your future. Often faced with a situation where, for example, a search for the financier actually implied an attempt to find a responsible person with years of experience working in the accounting department, and with the knowledge of 1C. This dramatically changes the requirements for search and halves the expectations of candidates to pay.

The fact that the work to work, and not be friends or About two boot on his left foot

After reading the books (and not very smart), that at the initial stage of the team should be almost no family, not just a team, a businessman decides: everyone should understand each other perfectly and poluvzglyada. And unconsciously (or consciously) selects those who are sympathetic to him. A cute we are, just like us: a similar outlook on life, goals and tastes.

What happens in the end? Most likely, this staff will have a great chance to become the best of friends and that for the time being. But do not carry out effective work.

Same setup will end in that one part of the work to be always on top, and the other - hopelessly behind. And no one will close these holes. So do not be afraid to take the team on different personality type of people. Some like to do everything and little by little, the other - scrupulously perform one specific task. Some gush creative ideas, the latter are able to implement them. Some people like to plan, the second - to improvise. Strive to ensure that the members of one team complement each other, but did not repeat.

And do not be afraid of the notorious confusion. Constructive conflict, which operates on the result - it is a vital part of the business. Versatile person will be able to become best friends, if not, then at least good friends. Without prejudice workflow.

To learn where and how to look for future colleagues

The question at present is solved simply enough - on the Internet. But one can not miss the opportunity to find the right person through recruitment agencies. If you need a professional with experience, searching through such intermediary will save you a lot of time. Especially, if to establish a good relationship with someone of the recruiters of companies, you can start to work, opening positions with no pre-payment, and therefore obtain a large sample of candidates.

It is logical to hire someone who has already had to deal with start-ups. Even if the project failed, he has already passed a good school and knows how to do it is not necessary.

Look for professionals who are already engaged in large projects. Perhaps just to entice the right person does not work, and it is not always necessary to do. Encourage your child to act as consultant for your project or work part-time. As a result, you will promptly receive all necessary information. A pro will understand your work environment and purpose, and that it is possible to make a choice in your favor. In this case, your expenses on the salary of the project will gradually grow and become more manageable. We are in RevolverLab.com these are actively using.

About where and why they do not need to look

I often ask managers who are puzzled search for a new employee, make certain averaged standard "plan of the day," a man. This helps them to accurately simulate the responsibilities of the future subordinate. It is possible that after a few attempts to make a plan, the head simply abandon the idea to take someone on the staff, and redistributed responsibilities among other personnel department or person to take "Udalenku".

Your hopes to find a future colleague is likely to fall short of the universities. They are not sharpened on graduates. The factory model of education in our country, unfortunately, still not completely outlived its usefulness. We are taught (if taught) punctuality, obedience and implementation of monotonous mechanical work. Hence, it is a desire to work "to 18-00 with the mandatory (!) A break for lunch."

About motivation and planning

Look for his team's role models. Few indeed it does, although the desire to emulate - the strongest stimulus. This is followed by a logical extension - the desire to surpass.

But on the other hand, it must be clearly understood that, in addition to sky-high goals, the team should be ground under your feet, because the tasks, deadlines, projects, budgets, has not been canceled and will not call.

Our team helps the system of daily planning and reporting. Every day at 10 o'clock we collect plans with all the projects, on which each of us works, and send them to moderation. He, in turn, collects them into a single list and monitors their completeness and priority.

The plans required binding to time and to the end, the most result-oriented. For example, if the task is to take the time to sell advertising special project to celebrate the New Year, in terms of it will have several solutions:

1. Ring up five companies with proposed advertising special project for the New Year.

2. Find at least three companies among the Vender and online stores in Ukraine, who will be interested to spend with us advertising special project to celebrate the New Year.

P.S.

Alvin Toffler, one of the authors of the concept of post-industrial society, once said: "In the 21st century considered illiterate is not the one who can not read and write, but those who can not learn, and complete their education relearn ".

You can grow extensively and intensively, but the main thing - do not stop. Your team must be able to maneuver, without regret, throw away the old ways and in a non-stop learning new. What worked last year, in a year will not work. These are the new rules of the game - just another society.
