Five Traits of Difference Makers
Speed, Snap, Platform, Homework, and Persistence
Organizations across all sectors and industries need all the competence they can muster. Navigating the right path depends on finding and nurturing the right people. Finding the difference makers. The rock stars. The ones who are worth their weight in gold.
How do you identify the ones you already have? How do you find more of them?
The Five Traits of Difference Makers helps the sharp manager tease out competitive advantage in current employees and recruiting strategy for the future. Intangible traits do not always reveal themselves in a resume, an interview, or the daily course of work. We often miss Difference Makers in our standard processes. Sometimes they hide in plain sight.
In my experience, five traits manifest themselves in the most valuable contributors:
1
Speed
The ability to climb steep learning curves quickly, to deliver projects related to the new knowledge acquired and then to replicate that experience
2
Snap
The ability to swiftly assess a situation, analyze, and take effective action
3
Platform
The ability to effectively communicate as a lead presenter
4
Homework
The ability to understand and distill the details of any task
5
Persistence
The ability to apply consistent and unyielding effort to difficult issues
