Monday Quote of the Week: Do you have your people in the right seats on the bus?

I get a kick out of the cultural, food and other observations from the character of Raymond Reddington on NBC’s The Blacklist.
 
just because you're first chair in the orchestra, doesn't mean you can compose a symphony
This phrase, in particular, hits home.
We’ve all heard that we should be “getting the right people on the bus”. But, are you paying enough attention to making sure that the people already ON the bus are in the right seats?
Invest some time to carefully evaluate who’s on board and whether they’re in a position of the “highest and best value” for the organization. They may have undiscovered talents … or talent that would better serve them AND the organization in a different role.
Invest that time. You may not only uncover some hidden gems​ but find that the talent you need is right in front of you.
