Maybe creating a great group isn’t that tough if you hire right but it’s often tough hiring right. It’s not the matter of making proper decisions. It’s about not being able to find these people you’ve described so easily.

JT, that’s the best explanation of “engagement” I’ve ever seen.

Kris, I wholeheartedly agree about accountability. So true.

The Happy Employee, you’re already there. Being happy is a HUGE part of it for me. I like working with fun people.

So simple and so true. I especially like the one about knowing the best people in the business and asking what needs to get done before the day starts. It’s about being interested in what you do and wanting to get stuff done.

What I really love are people who ask “what could I have done differently/better” when something goes wrong rather than “well, if that hadn’t happened, or if he/she had done better…” etc. Accountability is always something that is respected.

Great list – how about adding “When they are there, they are there.”

Hi Kim, that clock watching at the end of the day drives me nuts. Funny how you can set your watch by some of them. It’s about getting the work done. I’m a fan of doing what we say we will. That doesn’t always happen between 9 and 5.
