Rules To Building Your Dream Team

Today you were told that your entire team has gone to another department.

Your HR recruiter has scheduled a meeting with you to discuss your hiring needs. Although frustrated by the fact that you have to start again, you are excited that you have the opportunity to build your own dream team! Before you meet with your recruiter, you have to write out exactly what you are looking for! In the past, it was easy to identify employees with the education and credentials for the job, but yet there was just something missing. Now with this opportunity to build anew, you want to consider other determining factors.

In your teams, list out what type of employee will make your dream team.

6.Manage Social Distance

“Effective Leaders are able to evoke high levels of emotional response, loyalty, and affection.

They can empathize with those they lead, set into their shoes, get close to them. Yet they also seem able to communicate a sense of edge to remind people of the job at hand and the overarching purpose of the collective endeavor. In doing so they move skillfully from closeness to distance and back again”
