Hire GREATSM
People
You hired someone who (you thought) was fantastic. After
working with them for a few months, you realize you made a mistake.
How do you ensure that you maximize the quality of your hiring
decision so that you get great employees that add value to the
organization? A discussion of current hiring processes and the
pitfalls, as well as suggestions for improvements based on sound
data is offered.
Nurturing the Level Five Leader
In Jim Collins' book, "From Good to Great,"
he proposes the concept of a Level Five Leader. These people are
characterized by modesty and an overwhelming commitment to the
organization and look very different from charismatic leaders.
How do we recognize and nurture these leaders in our own companies?
A discussion of how we got to our current prevailing view of leadership
and what you can do to recognize and develop Level Five Leaders
is presented.
The Unsung Heroes of American Business
You can't open a newspaper these days without reading about
the foibles of another corporate chieftain. To the casual observer,
it appears that all top managers are self-serving. This presentation
takes a different perspective by highlighting a few of the personalities
that we've encountered while conducting over 1,000 assessments
for selection and development purposes.
Addressing Career DeRailers in Employees
DeRailers
– which all of us have to some degree – are the personality
characteristics that can work against us. An overview of what
these are is presented. Suggestions for avoiding and addressing
derailers are also offered.
Metrics
Many HR efforts are valued on efficiency
rather than effectiveness, reinforcing a cost-center approach
to people programs, and incorrect in a world where intellectual
capital is the true value of an organization. Learn a method of
evaluating the selection process that shifts the focus to adding
value to the organization. Worksheet available.
