The Third Step To Great Management
By Ron | December 16, 2009
The third step to great management is to Staff for Success. In other words, Hire Winners. Hiring the right people can have a huge impact and should never be compromised. We all have seen what can happen when a poor hiring decision was made. These decisions are usually made when there is a tight labor market or we are in too much of a hurry.
My sense is that in today’s market, hiring managers are being very picky and that is a good thing.
Too many times we hire people only for the technical reasons (they have the skills to do the job), but they lack the other attributes – fitting into the culture, being part of a team, identifying with the mission, etc.
We in Human Resources can make our biggest impact in this arena. Our ability to find the right candidates and get them sold to come work for our organizations is one of our most valued skills. Talent Acquisition is where we can shine and make our internal clients our fans. We need to exercise this third step to great management ourselves by hiring great recruiters.
