beyond those capabilities as a
one-off effort then it’s probably
not sustainable. Everyone can
pull off brilliance now and again
- the trick is to identify where our
natural and consistent behaviours
would be considered brilliant
most of the time and operate
from there!
And once we know that we
can match candidates with the
role profile to ensure we hire
someone who is a fit for the role
(X) instead of someone who
may occasionally do well (Z) or
someone who is destined to fail
right from the start (Y).
outcomes we need to look at the
role and the person separately,
get clear on each and then
overlay one with the other to
assess fit.
In order to operate at a
consistently high level we MUST
understand some fundamental
realities about our personality
including our intrinsic motivation
or purpose, our favoured patterns
of behaviour for meeting those
needs and how we sabotage
ourselves under pressure. When
we do we understand ‘fit’ and can
finally take the guess work out of
high performance and consistent
productivity.
