Whether a person is not only cut out for a leadership position, but can fill it in an impressionable way, depends less on the specialized knowledge learned than on personality traits. Those such as self-control, willpower, motivation, perseverance and resilience are the key potential indicators for professional success.
Critical competencies are just as important when filling management positions: e.g., technical competence, methodological competence, social competence. Which competence profile is best suited to the position? Which one does the candidate reflect?
Because many competencies and especially the potential indicators are not reflected on paper, career stages or in conventional headhunting interviews, GET AHEAD has been using a specific, demonstrably successful method for many years: evidence-based personnel diagnostics.
