3 WAYS TO LEVERAGE YOUR BEST PEOPLE
“Push them to the next level. Stretch and challenge
stars. Find out what they are good at and what they
need to learn and craft assignments accordingly”
“Let them shine. Don't hide your stars. Give them
visibility. Let others know what they are doing. When
they look good, you do too”
“Let them go. Top performers need room to grow. If
it makes sense for their development, let them move
on”
"John Chambers is Cisco's best salesperson. He speaks with a passion and an enthusiasm that rivals the best salespeople out there; but he also does it in such a sincere fashion. He gets you to believe in a story. He convinces you he has the best solution. He has a great balance of being aggressive in terms of closing the deal but not being obnoxious about it."
Michael Ching, Vice President, Merrill Lynch
