First the technical profile, essential as long as it is controlled emotionally and psychologically, because for a lot of career and qualifications that have been acquired at a formative level.
Now the specialties demand a greater capacity of discernment of the personnel that we interviewed, as far as their emotional potentials. We could say that the psychologist is almost the only professional who will be 100% trained to interview the new era of digital employees.
The profiles of the new generation have trained themselves to increase all levels of professionals with whom they are going to interact.
In this way asking so many technical requirements to all candidates, we are self-demanding at all levels of the company, for example so with the knowledge in Marketing, Sales, technologies, if we ask for a particular profile for a position, all The company must be already adapted to that profile; This is not yet fully assimilated in the selection processes by executives demanding professionals, who in most cases are above the profile of their bosses and colleagues.
It is necessary to assume that one should not be the best, but to be surrounded by the best, and here is a very confident work of confidence among the great executives who are afraid of losing their positions and who still prefer to surround themselves with less able to not risk their status; This is the biggest mistake that can and should be left to commit a director or a person in charge of selection of personnel.
It is necessary to reinforce the leadership figures, and not to convey that anyone has his post in the air, the authentic leader knows how to get the best of each and empathize with the emotions of their employees.
To make this an achievement should promote a healthy competitiveness, not let high positions conform to less than what employees can give, with a control and follow-up based on feedback and achievement of objectives, always be with The clear and present objectives, so that it will be reinforced that all «seek and give the best of themselves, and there we can find surprises in people with incredible emotional abilities, who did not seem skilled specialists.
