[Verse 1]
When you're hunting for talent, don't chase the résumé gleam
Look beneath polished surfaces for integrity's theme
Character runs deeper than certificates on walls
Potential sparks brighter than experience calls
Train the skills, but hire the heart that won't break
Mold the methods, but choose souls that won't fake
[Chorus]
C-H-S-S-F, build your team the leader's way
Character, hire for it, High standards every day
Safety psychological, Stretch assignments that grow
Feedback that's specific, watch your people's power flow
Five principles spinning, creating teams that win
Your legacy lives in the leaders you begin
[Verse 2]
Psychological safety means voices can soar
No fear of judgment when ideas hit the floor
Mistakes become lessons, not reasons to hide
Courage blooms freely when trust is your guide
High expectations paired with support that's real
Challenge them deeply, then help them heal
[Chorus]
C-H-S-S-F, build your team the leader's way
Character, hire for it, High standards every day
Safety psychological, Stretch assignments that grow
Feedback that's specific, watch your people's power flow
Five principles spinning, creating teams that win
Your legacy lives in the leaders you begin
[Bridge]
Stretch assignments in the struggle zone sweet
Where comfort dies and growth finds its beat
Room to stumble, space to discover
Productive failure makes diamonds from rubber
Timely feedback, growth-oriented and clear
Specific guidance that eliminates fear
[Verse 3]
Mentoring moments multiply your impact wide
One leader coaching creates ten by their side
High-leverage hours spent developing minds
Compound returns that future defines
Your greatest achievement won't be what you built alone
But armies of leaders you've helped to be grown
[Chorus]
C-H-S-S-F, build your team the leader's way
Character, hire for it, High standards every day
Safety psychological, Stretch assignments that grow
Feedback that's specific, watch your people's power flow
Five principles spinning, creating teams that win
Your legacy lives in the leaders you begin
[Outro]
Measured not by monuments that crumble with time
But by leaders whose leadership continues to climb
