You’re not hiring somebody for what they’ve done. You’re hiring them for what they’re going to do.
The number one indicator of future performance is curiosity and excitement about the work. Those who are curious and excited engage with the work. Engagement breeds investment, immersion, and exploration.
People brimming with excitement see their tasks as interesting puzzles waiting to be decoded. They care, wanting to dissect the “why” and “how” behind their tasks. They become craftsmen. Such immersion amplifies their dedication and the quality of their work.
Curiosity is the spark that ignites innovation. It compels individuals to scrutinize the status quo, traverse uncharted territories, and table unconventional solutions. Their distinctive viewpoints keep the organization on its toes, promoting a culture of dynamism and competitiveness.
With the ever-changing professional landscape sprouting new technologies and strategies, curious minds stay ahead of the curve and discover new and changing paths. They help the team adapt to these changes, turning them into a strategic advantage.
Curiosity and excitement are the dynamic forces that drive future performance. When you infuse your team with competent people who are genuinely curious and excited about the work, the rising tide lifts all the boats.
