When you start thinking about thatnew addition to your team, don’t just rely on a resume to tell you what you need to know. Of course past performance and experience matter, but if the character traits are not there, that experience is not going to account for much in the long run.
[font=Calibri]When establishing your plan for management recruitment, there areseveral things to think about as far as characteristics of the ideal candidate. Recognizing those characteristics that can make the difference between team performance being up or falling flat is critical. Here are some of those skills and attributes we feel are the most important when conducting your management recruitment:[/font]
[font=Calibri]Leadership – Management recruitment needs to involve the search forsomeone who is going to be able to manage – makes sense, no? If your manager can’t lead well, your team is unlikely to follow. Make sure that those candidates being considered have strong leadership skills, including the ability to inspire. [/font]
[font=Calibri]Great Communication – If your new manager can’t talk to their employees,how can you expect those employees to be confident in their jobs? One of the most important aspects of management recruiting should always be finding someone with the ability to deliver a message appropriately, professionally, and in a way that encourages and motivates – whether the message is positive or negative! They need to be able to provide constructive feedback as well as recognition - giving credit where credit is due.[/font]
[font=Calibri]Progressive – Your new manager can’t be stuck in the past. Embracingchange is the only way to ensure that your company is moving into the future, so make sure they are up-to-date on current technology or digital trends.[/font]
[font=Calibri]Decisive – If your candidate cannot make decisions effectively, thingswill never get done. Sitting on the fence will only create problems. If team members don’t feel secure in their manager’s ability to reach a decision, the results could be harmful.[/font]
