I wrote about the 10 questions/dimensions you can measure yourself on if you want to be a 5-star leade r.
In this series, I will detail my thoughts/suggestions on each of those 10 dimensions
by Thales
Do you ensure every team member is hand picked?
To be fair, its not just about ensuring that you are part of every hiring decision or that you are present to personally meet every new joinee. These are critical but I believe its a bit more than that.
- define your 'team member'
do this in as much detail as possible. exp, education, language, skill set, anything else that you feel is required to succeed in your setup.
- involve your people into the hiring decision
let the ones who will work with the new member have a say in it. Its not complete democracy, but if you get a buy in from them, the process of integration would be far more smoother.
- find out everything you can, before you hire.
use social networking sites, consultants, current team members, any and all sources, but try and find out as much as you can.
- give as much information as possible to the potential hire.
- dont window dress your company, the position or the role
- create a template of questions/interview techniques that you will use with everyone. let there be some standard testing.
- test for all the skills you deem important and necessary.
- take personal assurances regarding work ethics and commitment
Can't Wait for the entire series?
