The Aerospace Executive Podcast
News:Business News
If we think back to the group activities we did in school, there were always a few top achievers who took the lead, while the rest put in the bare minimum. The former were the group’s ‘A-players’, and they’re not limited to school environments: in fact, we often see the same dynamic play out in our organizations today.
So, what is it that makes some people more likely than others to put in the hard yards? Are some simply more driven to succeed?
More importantly, how can leaders identify those A-players for their companies, and how can those A-players make themselves known in the first place?
In this episode, Robert Houghton and I dive deep on the concept of A-players and how to recruit them.
"If you’re an A-player, you have a better chance than ever before to reach leadership positions." -Robert Houghton
