The second category we look at is whether they hold growth minded attributes. Let’s dig into both categories.

As a hiring manager you only have so many hours in a day; making the best use of your time is key.
The three P’s of Assessing Talent: Process, Purpose and Preparation Lore and literature have long used a crystal ball to predict the future. By simply gazing into the crystal ball, a clear picture of the future will present itself. It makes for a great story but less so for a step in the hiring process.
A Q&A with a trained EOS® implementer, Sally Brause As an EOS Implementer, when I saw Gino Wickman was going to be presenting a three-hour workshop on the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) at IT Nation Connect 2020, I was excited to deepen my knowledge further.
