7. Striking the right work-life balance for them Everyone has their own personal needs. Top performers should be able to determine what style of work and how long as long. If you have employees who need to be treated like kids, then you've mishired

4. Prioritization skills are top notch Everyone has 1000 action items in a week. The best are able to identify the highest leverage items that will help the business. If you have someone who cant figure out what needs to be done on the daily, then you've mishired.

you should prioritize a hire for talent, train for skill approach. your culture, who you serve, and how you build product makes your business unique. look for people who match your energy with a base level of skill. when given a chance, people will rise to the task

if you're angling to get acquired, remember that only 8% of M&A transactions are done by those interested in only boosting their financials. you need to build a healthy business AND in a space people are interested in operating in. always look for who is adjacent to
