Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How to Build a High-Performing Team with Steffen Schebesta

[1:22] – Steffen shares something he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.

  • He believes that you can look back at how much work it takes and overcoming obstacles to become successful.

[3:23] – Why is hiring so important?

  • Hiring is essential because the company’s heart is the people you work with.
  • People build the core of your company.
  • The journey is more important than the destination. Bring the right people on board who will be with you on your journey.

[5:45] – How do you look past the glitter and glamor and just find the right people?

  • It takes a lot of trial and error and experience.
  • Hire slow and fire fast.
  • Hiring somebody who is not just a good fit, but also aligned with the company’s values, is essential.

[14:50] – Steffen shares his top tips on motivating people.

  • People should be motivated from within. Most peak performers are not goal-driven but value-based and inspired by a purpose.
  • The ARC Framework:
    • Autonomy – allow your employees to have a certain degree of self-sufficiency.
    • Relatedness –  create a bond between employees.
    • Competence – your employees should be capable of doing the job.

[18:47] – What are the best ways to retain the best people?

  • Salary is part of the equation; however, feeling you’re valuable to the company is even more critical.
  • The ARC Framework:
    • Autonomy – Empower employees, but hold them accountable.
    • Relatedness – Team building events and bonding with other employees is key.
    • Competence  – Developing on a personal level, acquiring competence, and allowing your people to follow their passion.

[24:22] – Steffen’s key takeaway and call to action.

  • People are everything; they are the heart and soul of the company. The key is to hire the best people and find the perfect match. Focus on who you work with and who you hire.
