The Best Ways to Hire Sales People
This is a good article to make us think critically about how we are recruiting our sales people. In this dynamic marketplace each recruitment needs to be specific to the current situation, market dynamics and buying processes. We cannot rely on some general sales experience or the interview process itself. The costs of mistakes are high.

Dan Pink – The Puzzle of Motivation
Interesting video on what motivates people. Dan Pink gives a strong argument as to why money is not a motivator when it comes to complex problem solving. For simple mechanical problems money is a good motivator but for creative problems that require brain power he says giving people autonomy, drive to master the skills and purpose are better motivators.

Superteams by Khoi Tu
In Superteams, renowned teamwork specialist Khoi Tu explains how to make sure your team delivers consistently superior results and emerges stronger from the inevitable crises you will face.
What do the SAS, Ferrari and the Rolling Stones have in common? Their success is about much more than talented individuals. They are Superteams.
Every organisation, whether a business or a sports club, lives or dies by the quality of its teamwork. No man can be an island for long; only great teams can face a crisis and emerge stronger. So how do you build the right team? Many people think of it like a rock supergroup: bring the best of the best together and magic will happen. Yet supergroups often flop, while bands of unknowns rise to the top.
