How To Cast A Collaborator, Not Hire An Employee

Free Zone Frontier

Many entrepreneurs don’t hire well, and those that do mostly dread the activity. Dan Sullivan aims to change that. He explains a mindset shift about hiring differently as entrepreneurs, exploring how thinking of hiring as casting a play creates a new perspective on team building and collaboration.

Show Notes:

• Most entrepreneurs view hiring as a cost rather than an investment.
• An entrepreneur’s attitude toward hiring shapes the future of their relationship with their team.
• The notion of casting, as opposed to hiring, highlights the importance of finding the right fit for a role within the team.
• When entrepreneurs view the hiring process as casting, they shift their focus from simply filling a position to selecting individuals who will fit well within the existing team dynamic.
• It also helps them identify areas for improvement, reallocate roles, and ensure that the team functions cohesively toward common goals.
• It pays to view your business as a theater production, where the success of the team depends on how well each member fits into their role and collaborates with others.
• It doesn’t matter what anyone is doing on their own. It’s all about how you’re producing something as a team.
