What’s riskier? Hiring the wrong person or hiring no one.
What’s riskier for a team?
❌ Hiring the wrong person
⏳ Or hiring no one and stalling progress?
Tough call, right?
Most people I speak to would rather wait than risk a bad hire.
But doing nothing is also a decision …
and it costs time, momentum, and your team’s energy.
Here’s a fix that takes 10 minutes:
✔️ What we’re good at
❌ What’s holding us back
Then ask yourself 3 questions:
- Do we train someone?
- Do we bring in help?
- Do we change how we work?
That’s your talent plan. Simple. Effective. Revealing.
Good news? Your team doesn’t have to be perfect.
You just need to know what to fix first.
Posting this whilst, I’m re-reading “Reinventing Organizations by Frederic Laloux” and thinking: This is exactly the shift more teams need, less waiting, more adapting. If you’re into building teams that are human-centered, self-managing, and actually built for change… it’s a nice summer read! 📚
