Defining Responsibilities – Maximizing Talent through Role Alignment

People are THE most important asset of any business; it is people who make or break success. If you don’t have the right people on the team who have the right skill sets, attitude, and chemistry, you will find yourself on the proverbial hamster wheel. All strategies and tactics within your vision, mission, and plan become completely irrelevant if you can’t find the right people to execute the workload. Having a system to align the right team members with the right responsibilities is fundamental. This module focuses on creating and implementing a role alignment process that works regardless of your value proposition or the phase of the team lifecycle. Whether you are a sole practitioner looking to create a team for the first time or a multi-advisor, multi-support member experienced team, this module will prove invaluable!
