"الأشخاص الذين تدعوهم من حولك سيحددون إلى حد كبير مستوى نجاحك." (جون ماكسويل) في كتابه "من جيد إلى عظيم"، يذكر جيم كولينز أن أحد المكونات الأساسية للشركات التي انتقلت من كونها شركة جيدة إلى شركة عظيمة، هو أن القائد وضع الأشخاص المناسبين (الموظفين) في "الحافلة". تمامًا مثل مدرب كرة القدم الذي يحتاج إلى تعيين مساعديه، يجب على القس أن يحصل على مباركة الكنيسة في تعيين وفصل الموظفين.أحد زملائي في دراسة...  Read More

"आप अपने आस-पास जिन लोगों को बुलाते हैं, वे आपकी सफलता के स्तर को काफी हद तक निर्धारित करेंगे।" (जॉन मैक्सवेल) अपनी पुस्तक, "गुड टू ग्रेट" में, जिम कॉलिन्स कहते हैं कि जो कंपनियाँ एक अच्छी कंपनी से एक महान कंपनी बनी हैं, उनके केंद्रीय अवयवों में से एक यह है कि नेता ने सही लोगों (कर्मचारियों) को "बस में" बिठाया है। बहुत कुछ एक फुटबॉल कोच की तरह जिसे अपने सहायकों को नियुक्त करने की आवश्यकता होती है,...  Read More
