Moneyball - The System is the Star


Last week I had the operational team at my company watch the Moneyball trailer to help set the stage for implementing a new system during a meeting.




After watching the movie with my wife last month, I couldn't help but share the fantastic insights that this movie provides. As a young company, we've had solid growth for the past eight years, and we've also encountered growing pains. One of the challenges has been to find the right system for our operational recruiting department. 

We've taken the Moneyball concepts to create a system, approach, and process that is bigger than any one person. The goal is to build it into our culture and make this a part of how our team thinks, acts, and talks with clients every day. This way the system becomes the star and allows for our company to replicate this when the opportunity to grow comes our way.

Although we're a few weeks into the change, I am eager to take on this challenge. Now its time to get to work and begin the execution.
