Pro Tip

Very often, staffing decisions are made in a reactionary way that ultimately does not benefit the organization. Alternatively, staffing decisions can be made proactively and with a goal of increasing accountability amongst team members. Anytime organizational growth or change creates a need for additional members of the team, the overall team workflow should be considered to ensure that the job description of the new team member supports the organizational goals and accountability overall. Without this approach, an addition to the team is more likely to create confusion and conflict.
