1. Identify the opportunity


1. Identify the opportunity:

• We can create change only from the understanding that, what we have in our lives in this moment, is what we are COMMITTED TO.

• It is not the level of commitment but WHAT we are committed to that is the issue.

• If you are not sure what you are committed to, all you have to do is look at the results that you are currently getting.

Adapted from Owen Williams, “The Relationship Revolution”, BPS Books, 2009

Consider: If 12 months from now all of your HR

issues were solved,

• What do you want more of?

• What do you want less of?

2. Understand what you REALLY need.

• Not your wish-list or biases

• Study the outcomes of the job, what is required to achieve those outcomes?

• Nothing more or you

are getting in your own

way.

3. Hire RIGHT
