Musings from the CU Suite

Written by Anthony Demangone

While at NAFCU's Board of Directors and Supervisory Committee Conference, a speaker uttered one of those simple sayings that describes a solid business practice.

"Hire hard.  And then manage easy."

It can be easy to dismiss such things.  They seem too simple.

But buried inside those six words above is a ton of wisdom.  Spend your resources finding the right employees.  And then let them do their jobs.  Sometimes, organizations do the complete opposite. 

So, a few questions about..."Hire hard.  And then manage easy." 

Do you agree?

If so, on a scale of 1 to 10, how well do you execute that idea? 

Have a great week, everyone!
