I was talking to a leader who hires for shipping, receiving, and assembly. They no longer care about experience, because they have their own process, and found previous experience does not ensure success. A persons ability to follow direction, process information, and desire to learn are the key factors. While the candidate is waiting for the interview to start, they are handed a small box of Legos and challenged to see if they can put it together before the interviewer arrives. Through a camera in the interview room, they watch. Some people do not play at all, other's start putting the Legos together free form immediately, trying to get done before the interviewer arrives, and then there are those who look at the picture, read the directions, and start the assembly process. By using creativity in their hiring process and spending $5 on a small child's toy, they have had 100% success in hiring the right person, even if said person has no previous experience in the industry. Makes me wonder what small things each of us can do to increase our success.

Fleet job in AZ

Does your hat color matter? Yesterday, I talked about De Bono’s metaphorical thinking hats with different colors. Each color represents a different thinking perspective. Today I will talk about real hats with different colors that matter for completely different reasons. Although the R&D center where I worked had a collegial atmosphere, the company I later learned did not. I had a project that required access to a particular waste stream from a production facility. We identified a suitable partner facility and began planning for the work. Part of this included delivering equipment and materials for the project. I had the job of driving a box truck from R&D to the production facility. When I arrived at the production facility, I entered through the delivery gate. I needed to sign in and get a hard hat. The security guard issued me a blue hard hat. I drove back to the lab where they made space for me and an intern to do our work. In our spare time we joked, talked sports, and did word puzzles with the lab technicians. Yes, we worked, but we also had fun. After the project ended, we said a temporary goodbye since I would be back to present the findings and conclusion to the management team. When I returned, I came through the front gate. Once again, I signed in and received a hard hat. This time, the security guard gave me a white hat. After I finished with the presentation, I made my way back to the lab where I had spent months working side by side with the technician crew. Of course, for safety reasons, I wore my hard hat. When I entered the lab instead of a warm reception, I got the cold shoulder. One technician said, “If we had known you were a white hat, we would have never let you work with us.” I suddenly learned hard hat color created a shorthand for work status. Salaried workers wore white hats and hourly wore blue. I honestly did not know and did not care. My father worked as an hourly technician for another industry, but this did not matter. I was a “white hat.” Not to be trusted, or even it seems to be talked to. This happened long ago, and I hope that attitudes have changed. Nevertheless, I always keep my eyes open for what ‘hats’ people wear in an organization. #SolutionInstigator #DecisionMaking #WiseChoices #WorkSmarterNotHarder

WHY CHOOSE US: We have high standards when hiring and vetting our team. You’ll get well-trained and highly skilled technicians who show up on time, do not drink, do as they’re expected, clean up after themselves, and protect your home in the process. Again, these qualities are rare in the painting industry. I can’t even recall how many painters I have fired over the many years of our existence as a home painting company in Lexington for failing to live up to the high standards of conduct and skilled work we train for and demand. Much of the accountability for these things falls to our excellent Team Leaders as they manage not only the progress and quality of your project but also while leading, managing, and further training their team members – in skills, but also in responsibility, reliability, and integrity.
