What's the secret to building a kick-ass operations team? Hint: it's not all about scouring resumes for skills and experience. The nuts and bolts of an operations team lie in its people, their motivation, teamwork, and dedication. It's about finding individuals who aren't just adept at their job but are also able to become integral parts of the larger machine. Real success lies in hiring for potential over proficiency; looking beyond the CV and at the person as a whole. Do they have the passion, drive, and attitude necessary to grow? Are they adaptable? Synchronize your team with shared goals and values. Encourage open dialogue, continuous learning, innovation, and problem-solving together. Remember, it takes different cogs to operate a well-oiled machine. So here's my question to you: What are some of your strategies when recruiting for an operations team? Share your thoughts below! Keep on keeping on. The manufacturing industry is counting on us!

They have a hand in literally everything. From managing office moves to auditing the tech stack to fixing the printer, your Operations team is likely involved in just about every area of the business and knows everything there is to know about where your success comes from. And if that's not enough of a reason to nominate them for an Unsung Heroes Award here are 3 more: 1. Collaboration - Your Ops Manager sits as part of every team, collaborating with sales, IT, finance, and marketing, lending a hand wherever needed, and offering their expertise at every turn. The fact you have so many teams that would struggle day-to-day without them is a great sign that they deserve an award. 2. Talent - Is there anyone else in your organisation as multi-skilled as your Ops Manager? Who do you go to when there's a job that needs doing and no one else knows how to get it done? Who do you go to with the questions no one else knows the answers to? Who keeps 25 plats spinning all at once and keeps smiling throughout? Give them that award! 3. Processes - Think about all the things in place to help your company run smoothly. The processes, the tools, the technology - the way all of that works together like a well-oiled machine. All of that? Yeah, Operations made that happen. They bring order to chaos. And we all know the kind of chaos recruiters can create... You know it, we know it, they know it. Ops deserve an award for the work they do. So nominate them now and show them that you appreciate everything they do. #Operations #Recruitment #UnsungHeroes

Not certain you should take that executive position? Maybe the company is open to a trial period. Every person and every company is selling something, period. The "try before you buy" approach allows both parties to suss out mutual fit before engaging in a longer-term relationship. In today’s environment, the try-before-you-buy proposition makes a ton of sense when “equity” is at play and every company has a “superb culture.” When going on contract for a few months, you can get to know the company and “where the bodies are buried” before locking yourself into a grossly oversold situation. And if you are a fractional exec who is not open to potentially going full-time, that is fine too. Just let your interests and intentions be known on the front end so expectations are set properly. This approach is not only beneficial for execs but also for the companies that are hiring. Don't you want really want to know who you are going to give equity to?

Whether you are a #fractionalexecutive or you're a #smallbusinessowner thinking about hiring one, it's critical to fully embody the idea that time does not equal value. The concept of paying for time is so ingrained in our culture and daily lives that it is a difficult one to mentally step away from. While hiring a fractional executive could be a stepping stone on a business's growth journey, a full time executive is not necessarily the right or best long term goal. Being a fractional does not mean being temporary.
