Client Testimonial: |
Diane recently worked with my business partner and me to develop a Structural Plan. As the business climate has changed, we have had to adjust the way we work. Diane has an effective way of understanding the key issues and individual contributions, and then helping us outline what we need to do in order to utilize our abilities best. She helped turn a very stressful situation into a positive outcome.

Book of the Month | |
Why do managers often hire the wrong people? And why are so many smart people such mediocre performers? Perhaps because most organizations still rely on traditional interviews and annual reviews, rather than learning to assess, evaluate, and develop high-performance behaviors.
The key is to first develop individual, then organizational behavioral competencies. Behavioral competencies-the traits and characteristics that differentiate superior from average performers-have been shown to be significantly more predictive of performance than aptitude, skills, or experience.
In a culture of competence, people work at full capacity, managers and employees fix problems instead of complaining about them, and managers select and hire people who are strongest in the behaviors, traits, and qualities that determine successful performance. |

No employee excels at all of them. In hiring, forming team, and succession planning, it is important to match the most important skills, talents and abilities required by the job with the candidate that best exemplifies those abilities.

Most companies follow a common hiring process when soliciting candidates for an open position. That process probably includes creating a job advertisement, posting the position in the newspaper or a job board, sifting through resumes, and identifying the candidates to interview.
Although accepted as common practice we have found that many gaps exist in hiring that can be bridged with some minimal additional efforts at the front-end. By identifying core job success attributes, also known as the "job benchmark", the entire hiring process flows more smoothly and has greater success.

Thank you for supporting our business! |
We are committed to providing you with insightful and relevant leadership information.
We aspire to keep you thinking on the leadership edge, especially about how to optimize and leverage the talent within your organization. Too often talent underperforms because, as leaders, we don't provide enough "maintanence." Just like machines falter without maintanence, so do people.
Great leaders know how to inspire, equip and develop their talent from the time of hire all the way to the day of retire. At Talent Journey, we guide your adventure and help you navigate the sea of potential. Thank you for the opportunity to partner with you on your journey.
Referrals are greatly appreciated.
