Description

Start cultivating curiosity in your team. A team without curiosity is a team that’s vulnerable. A curious mind is essential for learning and growing, so make sure to foster this in your team.
I host Jim Weaver, Chief Operating Officer at The Onin Group, who shares three powerful strategies to increase and sustain curiosity in yourself and your team.
The Onin Group grew from $10 million in 2001 to a projected $800 million this year, Jim’s role evolved, and the scope of responsibility grew exponentially over the next two decades.   
They have a 10+ office staffing group listed as one of Staffing Industry Analysts fastest growing and largest staffing firms.  Since 2001 the company achieved an average annual top line organic growth rate of 25% while increasing gross and net profit margins and remaining debt-free.   
A strong corporate culture is the key to Onin’s sustained growth and has earned the company recognition as The Best Staffing Firm to Work For 2021 by Staffing Industry Analyst and by Birmingham and Nashville Business Journals as a perennial Best Place to Work in our home office markets.  
Jim’s other career was a professional rock n’ roll drummer with a music degree from Berklee School of Music.
