Finding Your Perfect Employee



Success Minded business owners know that hiring the right employee can make their business scale up while poor hiring decisions cost a lot to the companies! Mistakes in terms of time and money cost much to the business organizations! Big companies like Google avoid these hiring mistakes the "Law of Three". Always interview three candidates for a position, even if you like the first one! The more people you interview, the more choices you have and more likely you'll make the right choice. Interview the candidate in three different places. You can judge the personality of the person well and if the person has been pretending in the first interview, this will come off! Let three different people interview the person!

CNN American Hero, Sandra Yancey shares tips to optimize your interview questions and help narrow down the best candidates faster.

Success strategies for Entrepreneurs to Build an Effective Team



Building an effective and cohesive team is the next step after you have found the right person for the job. The right fit for the job can easily and quickly go south if you don't set your team up for success and retain your A-players. There are three areas of training that can help you to build your effective team after you’ve found the perfect employee.  The first one is Orientation, where the new staff members are made familiar and comfortable with the organization. The second one is Training, that helps the new staff do their job focusing on the skills and knowledge required for the position. The third one is Professional Development, which includes the education and training that the person has done and helps them improve their skills. Any organization that cares about the quality of work and the productivity of the staff members will provide all these trainings. But even after all this, some potential problems still arise! While you may have done the hiring and the training process, you still have to look out for the signs of potential problems. Sandra Yancey, CNN American Hero, Founder, and CEO of eWomenNetwork shares success strategies for entrepreneurs to be observant to the clues for potential problems that might arise after the right hiring and training process.
