Talent. Talent. Talent.   No mater what type of organization you have – it all comes down to people.  And in today’s world, the people around you need to be more entrepreneurial, innovative, and adaptive to change.   While working with Start-up companies the last 5-years, our team saw clear characteristics which always put a company or organization over the top.  These characteristics included:

• Creators - the ability to forge a path and develop the process vs. following one.
• Flexibility – the wiliness to quickly adapt and change course as needed.
• Passion – a deep respect and passion for the pain and/or problem they are trying to solve. 
• Broad business experience – individuals who are good generalist, worked in an entrepreneurial environment, as well as in different types of organizations.
• Rapid assessment skills - the ability to sort thru information, experiences and data points, understanding a situation, business, or organization quickly.
• Highly developed communication skills- vital skills to get the support, cooperation, and compliance of clients, members and/or various personalities.

When building a team, coalition, or a group of advisors – look for these characteristics.  This is a time for all effective organizations to be surrounded by entrepreneurial talent who have these experiences and traits.
