Infecting New Startup Recruits With Passion
No matter what your startup’s product or service is, there are very few factors that will be more critical to its success than your ability to recruit good people and build creative, productive teams. Recruiting smart people to your startup isn’t enough, though; they must also believe that what they do at your organization as an individual can help change the world for the better. Creating an organization based on goals that mean something to its people can not only help your startup find and enlist talented recruits, but it will also be a tremendous long-term advantage because having a sense of meaning and purpose are the most powerful motivators for people. Giving people in your organization something that they can believe in, and put their hearts and energy in to, will give them a sense of personal attachment and pride into what they contribute towards the final product. Creating meaningful group goals and clearly communicating how new recruits can contribute toward achieving those goals creates a wellspring of passion, and can bond teams and motivate them to achieve the organization’s goals together.
