Re-introducing character into the hiring process | Financial Post.

BINGO – RIGHT ON THE HEAD !

CHARACTER IS THE DEFINING GAME CHANGER – TRUST INITIATED, TRUST BUILT, TRUST ROADMAPS, TRUST INTEGRITY for COMPASS DIRECTIONS

Qualifications aside, they override even the best academic grades. If you are only hiring based on NETWORK contacts, it ain’t enough anymore. People once there are all over the map so fast these days that what once was a sure fire way of building business goes through the same up and down motions of business lifecycles just like any other process does. In fact if not in daily contact with networking options, kiss it goodbye after 18 months. Too much will have changed in terms of immediate feasibility to count them into equations.

WHY, because from beginning to end – even with major mistakes, ownership of them instills honor bound workers to continue where others would just normally start jumping off sinking ships.

Nortel Networks is the PRIME EXAMPLE of a BLUE CHIP COMPANY having lost all INTEGRITY from the get go once things started to go from BAD TO WORST !

Universities need to come up with courses and ways to help the hiring process based on character traits and sustainability.

In fact, all new small business owners should also be including in their business plans ways to manage business integrity based on hiring strategies and character traits. It is the single most important thing besides financial planning in the success of long term business survival.
