In John’s Model 10 video from his book Thinking for Success, “Who Is On Your Bench,” he emphasizes the importance of consistently recruiting talent, even when you don’t have open positions.

He compares strong businesses to teams with a deep “bench,” meaning a ready pool of capable people you can call on when someone leaves, becomes unavailable or when the company needs to grow quickly. Instead of waiting for a vacancy to start searching, successful business owners are always recruiting, building relationships and keeping an eye out for strong potential hires.

The key idea is that hiring should be ongoing, not reactive. By continuously developing your bench, you reduce downtime, avoid scrambling during staffing gaps and ensure the business stays stable and scalable no matter what changes happen.
