This may seem obvious , but why would you want to force an incredible linguist to do administration tasks ? It ’ s vital to use the talents of your staff members to the best of their ability – trying to get the square peg in the round hole will only cause frustration and staff hemorrhaging . When people use their naturally given talents , productivity shoots through the roof and so do profits ! I remember years ago someone telling me about their daughter who wanted to be an actress , but they as a parent felt that becoming a nurse would be far more useful and stable . My question is : Would you like to be taken care of in hospital by a nurse who really wanted to be an actress ? I sure wouldn ’ t !

Nothing drives a company out of business faster than having the wrong staff ! Make sure you take the time to tweak your hiring process so that you hire the best people possible . Create questions during the interview process that get real answers and not some rehearsed response . Outsource this to a professional if you have to – it will be the best investment that you make ! Working with people that reflect your company ’ s values and vision is amazing , and working with people who don ’ t is simply soul destroying - make sure you hire well !
