People do what they like; they like what they know. Experience adds depth to knowledge. The best indicator of how a person will perform in the future is how he or she has done in the past in the same or related activity. Criteria for selecting key people are dictated by the plan, the blueprint, for the business. A brick mason is not needed to construct a wooden building. The plan reflects the operational objectives, the work-a-day culture, and the intentions of the primary participants. The interests and capabilities of a new key person must harmonize with all three.
