In building a business, business owners often get trapped in over-focusing on capital, marketing strategies, or product quality. However, according to Financial Trainer and founder of QM Financial, Ligwina Hananto, the main determining factor that is often forgotten is the quality of the human resources recruited.
Before deciding to open job vacancies, Ligwina reminds business owners to have a deep understanding of the employee profile that can truly drive the company forward. This step is crucial so that recruitment does not merely fill position vacancies, but provides real added value to operations.
The main trait highlighted is high-initiative employees, often referred to as self-starters. These individuals are described as not passively waiting for instructions, but proactively identifying potential problems and immediately taking action to solve them. They possess strong internal drive to ensure work keeps moving forward without needing constant direction.
The presence of individuals with such character is proven to bring significant changes to team dynamics. According to Ligwina, having at least one person with this profile can boost the company's overall work pace, making the work environment more productive, lively, and responsive to existing business challenges.
