Talent I Culture I Employee Experience I Leadership

𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 One of the areas that still baffles me is the '𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯' that past performance equals future success. This is especially troublesome when considering promoting individual contributors to leadership roles. ✅𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧: 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧. Here are a couple suggestions to consider next time you are hiring an entry-level leader: ✅Assess candidates on their potential to demonstrate the required leadership competencies needed for success in the role. ✅You can then determine: 1️⃣ Where do they 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵 the requirements? 2️⃣ Where do they 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘦𝘥 the requirements? 3️⃣ Where are they 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘸 the requirements? ✅This allows you to make an informed decision on overall readiness. ❗𝗣͟𝗼͟𝗶͟𝗻͟𝘁͟𝘀͟ ͟𝘁͟𝗼͟ ͟𝗥͟𝗲͟𝗺͟𝗲͟𝗺͟𝗯͟𝗲͟𝗿͟:͟ 🖊️Hiring is not about finding a perfect candidate. 🖊️The goal is find the best match (think 80/20) and develop the gaps.  🖊️Use objective criteria (competencies) to make more informed and less risky hiring decisions. Happy hiring!
