HIRING THE BEST PEOPLE
How To Spot Motivation and
Attitude In the Hiring Interview
| |
|
Anyone who's ever run a business knows the experience of hiring someone who looked great in the interview, only to find their on-the-job performance falling far short of expectations.
Job interviews aren't typical work settings. With all the books and tapes available on how to impress the interviewer it's easy for many applicants to look great in the interview - but not necessarily show how they'll do on the job.
Studies show most people don't underperform or leave jobs because they lack ability. They lose motivation when the work environment or management style isn't a good fit.
While most managers interview to determine if a person's technically able to do the job, motivation and attitude - how the applicant accepts direction, feedback and works under pressure - are as important to know and are blind spots in most manager's interview questions.
Job applicants won't have rehearsed answers for the original questions you'll learn to use that will enable you to:
- Know what you can tell about motivation and attitude by reading between the lines of a resume
- Find out how an applicant handles feedback and working under pressure
- Use non-threatening ways to get applicants to talk about personality conflicts and performance weaknesses
- Spot attitude problems before making the hire
- Get reference information that's honest and has real value
- Spot dedicated people who will stay with your organization and keep employee turnover to a minimum

Fight fear and be courageous - even when the odds may seem against you

Know how to anchor yourself in the part of yourself that's bigger than yourself
Learn how to accept what is "A Given" - what you just have to get used to
Find out why Mountain Men couldn't see taking orders from anyone who lived indoors
Whether you work on the high-tech frontier - or what ever challenge you're facing - Steve concludes making relevant what we can learn from those who have overcame tremendous obstacles to help us gain perspective on your own challenge.

CITIZEN WARRIOR BASIC TRAINING Know How to Protect Yourself When The Battlefield is Your Mind
|
|
|
|

How we think about the Terrorist's War is the most important part of fighting it because this is not a war for territory or resources. The battlefield is your mind - a battle between freedom and fear. This is a war that will be won or lost on morale alone.
The terrorist's most powerful weapon is to turn your imagination against yourself. They can only do so if you allow them to.
The better you understand how terrorist manipulate your perceptions and thinking, their power over you diminishes.
This is an attack on our economy and how we respond in the workplace – our ability to be psychologically prepared and stay focused on our mission – is key to winning this war.
Suicide Terrorists are motivated by values that mean more to them than life itself. The way you counter that is with your own motivation and steadfastness in your values.
What principles do you champion? What are the things you care about the most? No one or nothing can take that from you.
CITIZEN WARRIOR BASIC TRAINING arms you with knowledge to build your Personal Courage. Practical, nuts and bolts things you can do to counter uncertainty and negative thinking:
• Anchor yourself in the part of yourself that's bigger than yourself – Your values
• "Courage" means to "Take Heart." Find Your Hero Within
• Build your Personal Courage by facing adversity embracing those values
• You grow in Courage and Strength every time you face fear and the power of your will prevails
• Our response when bad things happen is where the goodness is found
• Counter negativity by raising the mindset of those around you.
"Steve Penny is doing something good, something original, something practical, to help solve the problem of terrorism." Adam Khan CitizenWarrior.Com
