How to build a winning team: Nick Devine

It’s people that power a business, says sales expert, Nick Devine. He’s got some tips on how to build the best team you can.

How is it the Richard Branson can build seven different $b (yep ... billion) businesses in seven different sectors and still spend time playing on Nectar Island?  How does Warren Buffet run a global conglomerate from a modest office in Omaha?  How can Bill Gates ‘retire’ from Microsoft and still have a massively successful business?

One answer always stands head and shoulders about the rest when entrepreneurs talk about what it takes to run a successful business.  They all say the same thing: you must have a great team.  

Bill Gates says: “Take our 20 best people away and I'll tell you that Microsoft will become an unimportant company.”  This from a company with 91,259 employees!

You have to have resourceful people who are committed to your enterprise.  Hiring and managing the wrong people has a terrible emotional and financial drain on a company.  Hiring and leading ‘A’ players will revolutionise the results you produce.  It takes more time, but you travel faster to your destination.
