Talent Vs Non-Talent , Knowing the Difference with Linda and Shannon
Manage episode 376480106 series 3435680
In today's episode Linda and Shannon discuss talent vs. non-talent, and how to distinguish between the two.
There are several ways to identify non talent team members. As leaders, they can be harder to notice since you are in the thick of it. Ask yourself: Is the workload constantly coming back to you? Do they help find solutions, or bring new problems? Typically, energy drainers are non-talents and energy givers are the talent.
If a person is true talent, they will take initiative in the role they are placed in. Often, they will take the role to the next level and exceed your expectations. Everyone will run into challenges in whatever position they are in, but the individuals with talent are self-sufficient and can find solutions on their own.
It’s incredibly helpful if you can learn to discern between the two during the hiring process. Just because a team member is good at their tasks doesn’t make them the right person for that role. Real talent is someone who is intrinsically motivated to complete the tasks because they enjoy them or get something out of them. Otherwise, they won’t stay long in the role. Tie their vision of success with the growth of the company, and the relationship will be fruitful.
Don’t rush into bringing someone on board. Learn more and get to know each other, because then you can make a more informed decision and the potential hire can decide for themselves if they feel the role is a good fit for them, too.
