INSTANT MBA: Building a Business Based Only On Great People Will Set You Up For Failure
This article is basically saying that the smartest employees won't build your business. They have to be smart in the areas you need them to be smart in, and everyone needs to follow a process in order to keep the business flowing with structure. Something that the articles I have read so far, is mainly telling you to don't put too much time and effort in to one thing. Everyone in the company sort of needs to focus on one thing and stick with it, so that there isn't too much time focused on one area because all things need to work together in order for a business to operate successfully.

I agrees with this article. I think part of the reason is because already successful people have their own ideas and will be unable to agree on suggestions on certain situations because they believe they know what's best based on their experience. Mediocre participants in the company can be worked with to provide desired results. Also this provides the opportunity for those employees to grow in their field and experience hands on knowledge within their job.

Sometimes the best arnt always the best for the job. I know that sounds complicated but its all about the process and the time people take out of doing the work. Sure there the best but business is a process and it takes hard working people to finish that process. If your not hard working then you shouldnt come to work.

This article is a perfect example of how management is an art. It is truly interpreted and executed differently by all sorts of people and none of them are entirely wrong. Here, the article says there should be more focus on creating better processes then hiring the best people. I think that it is just an example of a trade-off. By not hiring the best people, you will lose in some areas but then also your processes may be lacking because that is not the focus. I don't believe this article is applicable to every business, I think hiring great employees is the life blood of a business.

It’s not always about hiring the best people. This link says that the process you establish to optimize your employees is more important than the hiring process alone. I know from experience that in one of my high school jobs I wasn’t exactly the best fit for the job description. However, the process that my boss had given me helped guide me into becoming great at that job.

INSTANT MBA: Building A Business Based Only On Great People Will 'Set You Up For Failure' I think that in order to be the best you have to hire the best. I believe that constructing a great team will lead to success within an organization. Just having a team of great people is not the key to success. The people on your team have to be diverse and each person should bring their strengths to the table.

You should not rely on only one person to drive a company to the top. You should instead seek a team that will function as a whole. You want to have multiple great employees rather than just one. When you have a team that works wonderfully together they have the ability to achieve a higher productivity than just one employee on his own.

I have always felt that hiring the best will give you the best, that is why they are the best. I have known sales to be a lot like baseball, a team of individuals doing their part for the team. If I was a manager of a team I would like to have a good lineup of people, I would rather not have an employee that is mediocre. I understand that its not always about being the best in a position to get hired…actually wait that is what gets you hired, selling yourself to be better than the other people. If companies were not looking for the best people to fill positions then a person with no schooling could be employed before someone with two degrees, however, that is not the world in which we live in. Companies do their homework on people that could represent the company and degrees and gpa say a lot more than passion and know how. That is the world in which I know it to be and have been constantly told in school so that is the way it is.

Every coach in any sport will say "the best player will play". More often than not, the team with better players will win. If the hiring concept in a business revolves around taking the best suited person for that business, then that business will not fail. I disagree with this article. The only way to internally strengthen a business's operation is to instill a corporate culture that suits the employees. If this is accomplished then the business should be unified and motivated to be better than the competition; that formula does not, has not, nor will not equate to failure.

I do not agree with this article. If you have people who are the personification of success, than there is no reason why your company should fail. Failure to these people is a foreign entity so if it would happen, the end result would be them being emotionally crushed. The fact is, success is all that they know and they will not want to fail. I believe it is good to have the best of the best, because they are the best for a reason.

Jim Burleigh, CEO at Cloud9 says that you shouldn’t rely on just hiring employees who are enthusiastic about your brand but to also rely on processes set up within the organization. As a leader, you must lead your employees to make the best decisions for your company. Hiring the best of the best might not be in the best interest of your company because they may not ready to follow your process even though they are enthusiastic about your brand.

I agrees with this article. Just because you have great individual people that does not mean that will be great together. If you add of successful people to the organization it could be counterproductive. If they have succeeded in their own way, they may not be open to the other successful people's ideas. They could be very stubborn.
