Tips From My Book!
Assembling Your Wolf Pack
Recruiting lone wolves (technicians) requires showcasing the benefits of joining your "wolf pack." Traditional recruitment methods may not be effective, as lone wolves are independent and want to see how your organization can improve their lives.
It is crucial to define your organizational culture and demonstrate how following your processes allows them to focus on their strengths.
Imposing too many restrictions or processes can stifle their problem-solving abilities and diminish their drive to excel as artists.
You want to work for them... so they can succeed. Therefore, your company succeeds.
