Newspaper Support Group

For years now, newspapers have been looking for people to cut. I’ve written before that this is the wrong focus. The real mark of a successful organization is who they hire, not just who they fire. After all, the people who are actually at your company are going to have a bigger effect on its performance than those who aren’t.

The way your organization behaves a year from now is going to be the average of the people working for you today.

Are they curious? Do they solve problems? Do they come up with great ideas? Are they passionate? Do they create high quality work? Are they inventive? Do they demand excellence from their peers?

What about you?

So instead of spending your time on who you’re going to cut to meet your budget, focus on hiring the people who will make your company great.

Great companies will be around in the future.
