Most CEOs recognize that the buck stops with them when it comes to the first two.

Unfortunately it’s the third one—building the team—that matters the most. So why do so many CEOs try to delegate it to someone else?

If you’re building a team and you really want the best, you can’t delegate. Finding the best candidates is not your board’s job, your investors’ job, or even your HR department’s job. And for god’s sake, it’s not a recruiter’s job. It’s your job.

It needs your direct attention, because that amazing person you’re looking for isn’t looking for you. They aren’t looking for a new job. They’re happy where they are. So if you want them, you have to go get them.

And here’s the best way I’ve found to do it: start taking names. Reach out to the smartest people you know and ask “who are the five best people you know who are doing this job?” Do that three times and there’s your list. Don’t limit your list to people who are out of work or actively looking—you want the best, NOT the available best.

Now go get ‘em.

More often than not, you’ll fail—remember, these people aren’t looking.

When that happens, just finish your phone call with “who are the five best people you know who are doing this job?” And off you go again.

When people tell you, “you’ll never be able to get that person,” you just have to reply, “leave it to me.”

In recruiting—as with everything entrepreneurs do—if you paid attention to the ones telling you “that will never work”, you’d have never even started.

@ravishndtv & @SrBachchan thank you for making me fall in love with Hindi language.

माननीय जनता,

मेरे होने में आप सभी शामिल हैं। आपका प्यार ही मेरी दौलत है। आप दर्शकों से एकतरफ़ा और लंबा संवाद किया है। अपने यू- ट्यूब चैनल पर। यही मेरा नया पता है। सभी को गोदी मीडिया की ग़ुलामी से लड़ना है।

आपका
रवीश कुमार

This is where I was at the lowest point of my adult life.

‘Living’ in a public transit washroom with my then 14-month old son. It was here that I chose to OWN my situation, circumstances and LIFE!

You can’t change something until you OWN IT!
