Picking your team
Article Abstract:
Staff must be highly motivated if a successful team is to be achieved in the leisure industry. Each member of the team should have the appropriate skills and attitude for the job and should be able to attend to customer needs during long working days. Key skills such as arithmetic, team work, anatomy and swimming could be tested as a means of identifying whether the individual has the necessary physical ability. Personalities within the team must mix well together.
