Bill Gallagher previews a one-day workshop on scaling up a business, starting with hiring and team decisions. You'll learn the FACE accountability chart to clarify roles, a rapid talent assessment to evaluate people, and Topgrading to build teams of A-players.
Hi there, Bill Gallagher and I want to talk to you today about the first of the four big decisions that we'll cover in our workshop on scaling up. The first of these decisions is the people decision. We want to get the right people on the team, the right people on the bus, you've heard the saying, and we want to do that right. The first question to ask yourself is, would you enthusiastically rehire all of the people on your team if you had to do it over again? Right now, for most of us, the answer is no, we wouldn't rehire everybody on our team. So we want to be able to get those people decisions right again and again and again. So in our workshop, this is a one day workshop, we'll introduce you to the key tools and practices in scaling up and we can begin to get that work done. It's certainly not all of it, but we can begin to get that work done with you and your team. So the first piece that we're going to do, the first exercise and tool that we'll use is what we call face. It's a functional accountability chart exercise. And with the FACE tool, we want to ask three questions and get these right. What are the right seats? And do I have the right people in the right seats? And three are the right people in the right seats doing the right thing. So with the FACE tool in this exercise, we'll begin to get this right, aligning your people to the right roles and, and getting the right kind of accountability set up, no matter what business you're in. The second thing we want to do is what do we do with the people that you've got? We'll introduce you to a very rapid talent assessment tool that you can use to make important decisions and develop a plan for each of your people. That's the talent assessment tool. And then finally, we want to introduce you to Top Grading. Top Grading is the recruiting and management tool developed at GE and now used by our very best clients to continue to elevate their leadership teams and develop a culture of A players. So we want to develop a full A player team and we'll introduce that methodology to you. There are three other decisions. I'll talk about those in the next video.
