A great organization is dependent on great people. Yet, even someone who is ‘great’ may not necessarily be right for your organization. Jim Collins reminds us the right people:
***fit in with the company’s core values
***don’t need to be tightly managed
***understand that they do not have ‘jobs’, they have responsibilities
***fulfill their commitments
***are passionate about the company and its work
***display “window and mirror” maturity (e.g. they shine a light on others while taking little credit themselves)
This is a great summary–whether you’re hiring or evaluating your organization. For many of you, this is a reminder–hopefully a helpful one.
For those of you familiar with The Power of Professionalism you’ll notice a gazillion correlations with the seven mind-sets amongst Jim’s list. Again, that’s not surprising–after all, the book is all about personal leadership!
