A short coaching segment by Omar Zenhom on hiring and delegation: prioritize attitude and cultural alignment over current skills because skills can be taught but attitude cannot. Recommended hires are quick learners, creative problem-solvers, proactive go-getters, and people aligned with the business's values and goals so you can confidently delegate work.
Hire the right people. Delegation only works when you trust the people you're delegating to. You need to invest the time in finding team members who are skilled but also align with your business values and goals. They understand what you're trying to build here. Another huge hint on how to make a good hire when it comes to delegating tasks or finding somebody to take things off your plate is they got to be a quick study. They'll be able to learn things quickly and implement. They got to be able to use a little bit of creativity to improve upon your ideas, improve upon your procedures. They got to be a go getter because you really can't trust train somebody to have that kind of attitude once you find somebody that is willing to figure it out to make it happen to be a learner to be somebody who's willing to grow and to push themselves that's an instant hire for me because I can always train new skills. I can't train attitude.
