If you're not familiar with StrengthFinders. Tom Rath followed it with "StrengthFinders 2.o". Marcus Buckingham wrote an amazing book called "Now Discover Your Strengths".

We all have certain talents, skills and abilities. Have the courage and common sense to admit that you have made a mistake then correct the mistake and get on with business. If you have made a poor selection decision, don't compound the decision by keeping the wrong person in place. The best time to fire a person is the first time it crosses your mind. One of the rules for good hiring is this: Hire slowly and fire fast. In "Developing the Leaders Around You", John Maxwell says "Hire slowly and fire fast". Putting people in areas where they could excel and empowering them to do so. Hiring the right people and letting go of the wrong ones. Over the years Staubach carefully built his company.
