The world just wrapped up the Olympic Games in Canada over this past weekend. Nations from around the world selected their best talent to send and compete against each other to determine who was the best in a given sport. Some medal winners were forecasted and then there were some surprises. In all, for 17 days we watched top talent compete head to head to achieve “Gold.”
In the business world, leaders need to have a similar approach to building the best talent base for the current and future success of the organization. No different than picking which 4 curlers would play a given match or which group of 3 skaters would participate in the “team Pursuit” on the oval. As a leader you must put your best team on the front line each and every time.
Do you know what best talent is? What does it look like in your organization? Are there specific characteristics that separate BEST talent from average talent?
Here are a few areas to start to identify your talent elements:
What behaviors must the person consistently demonstrate that directly contribute to success in the job?
What motivational factors does the role provide that the person doing the job will be excited about? Which ones are distracting or discouraging factors?
What attributes are critical to top performance in the role? Is time management more important than customer service or creative thinking?
Without criterion to identify best talent – you are guessing and even worse – hoping you guessed right.
Need a hand to define these key factors to having “Best in Class” performers on your team? Give JKL Associates a call to bring you solutions to your challenges.
