“There is work that needs to be done and I just need someone good to do the work”
*** sigh ***
This is what we tell ourselves when we decide to hire someone. But it is so much deeper than just getting a butt in the seat!
Growth is the most important factor here. So, we must start with the end in mind to avoid making HUGE hiring mistakes!
Yes, we need to get the work done but will this person really help your company grow? And more importantly, can your company provide the growth that the person you want to hire desperately desires?
Our guest today: Mike Zani, CEO of The Predictive Index.
Mike Zani, the Wall Street Journal best selling author of The Science of Dream Teams, is CEO of The Predictive Index, the leader in talent optimization. Prior to The Predictive Index, Mike served as president of LEDCO, a manufacturer of rugged computer peripherals. It was at LEDCO where Mike, a customer of The Predictive Index, developed his passion for the company’s vital management tools.
An avid sailor, Mike began his career in marketing and sales with Vanguard Sailboats and was a coach for the 1996 U.S. Olympic Sailing Team. He holds a B.S. from Brown University and an MBA from Harvard.
