Building a bulletproof work culture is one of the biggest assets you can invest in as a business owner. It creates an atmosphere of trust, accountability, and it provides an open door to authentically talk through issues that impact your bottom line.
As a business owner, people are your most valuable asset. If you go through a string of bad hires, the costs to replace them can be astronomical. Often when people don’t thrive there is an inclination to keep nurturing them until they are able to contribute at the desired level.
But sometimes, it’s more beneficial for you and your team to identify when a team member isn’t a good fit and severe ties. Here are some red flags to keep an eye on if you have a potential misfit on your team:
- Disengaged or Bored – This might show up as them feeling like they aren’t being challenged in their role or that every task is tedious and they have to right to get through it. Either way, there is a lack of passion or enthusiasm.
- Lack of Improvement – Let’s be honest, not everyone is a super star, but there is a certain level of competency each member of your team should meet or exceed. If they receive actionable ways to improve but don’t make progress, that’s a sign they aren’t interested or are incompatible in making improvements.
- Skills or Personality aren’t a good fit – Sometimes jobs change over time and the person filling the position no longer has the right temperament or skillset to thrive in the new role.
