needs; using interviewing processes that accurately assess which
candidates have the best skills and can also thrive in a team envi-
ronment; orienting and integrating new team members so that
they can perform quickly and effectively; providing a variety of
ongoing development opportunities and honest feedback—both
positive and negative—so that team members are supported, chal-
lenged, and continuously learning and growing; and coaching or
mentoring team members so that each individual can contribute
his or her personal best.
