Team recruitment profiling

30 March 2009

A very important part of my business coaching and mentoring involves the use fo Motivational and behavioural profiling. It has enabled me to get behind the facade that for years western society has accepted that the CV has been the benchmark to gauge the quantitative area of “WHAT” people can do by looking at education, training, experience and references, but this misses out the ever more important qualitative aspects of “WHY” – Core Driver Motivational profiling - and “HOW” – Behavioural profiling. It is increasingly important to know more about these qualitative areas of “WHY” and “HOW”, such as behaviour, attitudes, motivators and values when working with family people and planning for the future.

After reading this you will be able to:

identify the best members of the family and staff for a particular job
recruit easier and better for management roles and project teams
identify training needs for everyone
find ways to improve communication between family members and staff
change a team or company’s culture if needed
