42: Hiring + Managing for Strengths

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">DITCH the job titles. I know, it sounds radical and can feel rebellious, but trust us on this one - it’s the thing to do!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you shift from job titles and degree labels and instead focus on strengths - GAME CHANGER.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ve probably had many job titles in your life and likely have a degree (or two). But what do you really</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">do</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">? What are you really great at? What is the common thread between all your titles? THAT is your strength.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s the same thing when hiring. When you hire for strengths, you get the</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">best</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">of your team member. And major perk? They tend to</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">love</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">working in your company lightyears more because they’re working in their zone of genius, doing what they love most. Win win!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode of the Run Like Clockwork Podcast, Emily shares:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How we write job descriptions and hire based on strengths</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The benefits of “User Manuals” for your team</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Personality tests we use as a team</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to cultivate team communication around strengths</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What do you look for when hiring?
