Because it really is quite different than you think it is! The secret of winning persons and teams lies in the combination of talent and four important performance indicators, on which -- strangely enough -- many organizations just do not select their employees...
Sebastiaan Kodden studied performance indicators among executives and senior staff of over 1,100 professionals and 50 CEO's of the Dutch best-known companies. His surprising findings put the present recruitment and selection procedures of many Dutch companies in a new perspective. And the book is not only about the theory: it also offers a useful model for recruitment and selection and professional development.
Including various questionnaires and checklists for HR--professionals and executives who want to build sustainable winning teams and organizations.

Dr. José W. Otte (MBA), social innovation researcher with a background in behavioral studies
'They key is not to manage but to develop talent. If this were a thesis, my verdict would be a cum laude graduation. For managers, HR-people, advisors, headhunters and recruiters, teachers and students, this book is a must-read and an eye opener.'
'Knowledge, science, energy and force combined, another great book by Sebastiaan Kodden.'

Steve Job từng nói, “Tuyển người là một quá trình khó khăn, như mò kim đáy bể. Ta không thể biết đủ trong một giờ phỏng vấn. Thế nên, rốt cuộc, ta chỉ có thể dựa vào trực giác của mình.”
Và giờ đây, có một nghiên cứu trình bày và xác nhận trực giác đó. Nghiên cứu được tác giả Sebastiaan Kodden thực hiện dựa trên hơn 1.000 giám đốc điều hành, nhân sự cấp cao và vận động viên chuyên nghiệp.
Qua những tình huống thực tế và lập luận mạch lạc, Sebastiaan Kodden đã hé lộ bí mật của những cá nhân và đội nhóm thành công nhờ kết hợp hài hòa tài năng cá nhân cùng bốn chỉ số quan trọng bậc nhất mang lại hiệu suất cao trong công việc.
Cuốn sách đồng thời còn phát lộ những hiểu biết mới mẻ làm thay đổi tư duy phổ biến về nghề nghiệp của chúng ta.
