This
week, we are focusing on selecting effective employees. Many
organizations have experienced the next generation of employees
(Millenials) making efforts to enter the workforce. Finding work has
become more competitive. Selecting the right employee on the first
attempt has also been a challenge for employers.
What
are the merits of the argument made in this video? Toward the end of
the video, the speaker suggests that organizations should “Stop equating
experience with ability, credentials with competence, and to stop
settling for the safe and familiar choice and leave the door open to
someone who could be amazing” when it comes to selecting employees. In
your opinion, how could an organizational leader accomplish this, while
simultaneously creating shareholder wealth? What are some of the risks
of this way of thinking?
