Key Thoughts:
We don't want to cram people into a position, we want to align the position with the talent so that people are working in their zone of genius in an area, they love doing the things that they're well suited for, and have a skill set. Michele (6:42)
Identifying the talent and then fitting them in the right job times investment equaled growth. Jenni Egger (7:04)
If you take care of your staff and your team members, they will take care of your clients. Michele (15:28)
Something I believe in is you look at what you already own, what you already have what you already possess, that you can just make better. Jenni Egger (28:39)
