Learn to Teach, Teach to Learn

Hello I seen your add on the designers group. I am not a desinger so I will tell you I am right now, I am not qualified for that job.  However, I do have friends who are.  Would you mind telling me, what exactly you are wanting to do with this online store.  I can give them you ideas.   Also, there are in fact many good teachers in Shenzhen.  I find the best way to find them is to offer them a fair salary,, with opportunities for quick advancement.  Westerners come from a capitialists mindset like your boss.  Many of them dont just like a salary.   They like a good system built with bonuses and incentives.  I do agree, people should not be rewarded for failure or mediocrity.  That is why I never suggests companies offering salaries that are way above the industry standard.  It seems for Shenzhen 12k to 15k for a training center is a fair salary.   With incentives, that gives them an opportunity to earn between 20k to 30 k in two years, I am confident you will attract the right people.  Also good teachers and professionals look for places that offer fairness, that have high standards, that look for partners or bosses who take interest in their lives.  They also look for places were they can contribute to a team.  Where the ideas  and suggestions can be heard.  I think it all begins with the bosses and leadership of the companies,.  When the bosses, management team, and other leaders set high standards, permote unity, fairness, vision, professionalism, ethics, and great incentive programs, by default they will attract the industries bests and brightests.  I am not saying your company is not doing this now.  This just been my experience and observation of what does work.  I am sure their are ideas available that I have not mentioned.  After all, I am not a know it all.
