After almost a month in one location, I am about to start traveling again, westward.
One of the nice things about settling in one spot for the last month is that it’s somewhat easier to ride my bicycle.
I know the roads and traffic patterns which makes life on two wheels safer.
My friends say I am at my best on a bicycle and I tend to agree.
I don’t know where this attraction to bicycles started, but it’s been with me my entire life.
One of my brief jobs was testing new bicycles and it required that I ride all winter long, in snowy Upstate NY.
I didn’t mind the bitter cold at all. I just accepted that’s who I am.
Do you know yourself or your staff that well?
One of the critical pieces of putting a team together is to have the right people in the right seats on the bus. You’ve heard that expression before I am sure.
It comes down to hard skills, education, certifications, experience, and soft skills, how we interact with each other.
Soft skills are roughly 80% of a person’s success in any career. In short, soft skills determine how a person interfaces with others in various situations.
Matching a person’s soft skills to the job is often based on guess work or intuition.
However, there are assessments you can give your prospective employees that measure how they react and respond to life situations.
The assessments can also be used for staff training and development. They provide a new level of understanding of ourselves and other people.
This is not to be confused with personality testing, but rather, it’s a behavioral assessment.
Over the next five days I will me posting short videos about the assessments with information you can implement immediately to strengthen your team.
