Key Quotes from Kelly
“When you see really spectacular cultures where people are loving what they do and thriving and companies are growing and you can see the kind of impact they’re making on the world, that didn’t just happen by accident.”
"If you want to get the most out of your people, it starts with getting what we call RPRS, which stands for right people in the right seats. It's a combination of adhering to the core values of an organization and at the same time making sure that individual is truly getting, wanting, and having the capacity for the seat that they sit in."
"Getting the most out of people really requires that you're showing up with that genuine caring concern. I always say, please do not become a manager or leader if you don't have genuine love for people."
"There are a couple really key things that we do across the board no matter what seat we're hiring for. And one of those is Kolbe. Kolbe has been absolutely instrumental every single hire."
