You’ve decided you want to bring in some top talent to help move your project forward. And while it can be difficult to find the perfect person, you’ll be happy to know that top talent will have a combination of these six qualities:
They’re Natural Communicators
Being a strong communicator is perhaps the greatest skill top talent will bring to any project. A company’s success relies on the ability of team members to communicate effectively. Candidates who can articulate their ideas in ways everyone can readily grasp quickly become company assets.
Top Talent Will Always Be Adaptable
Talented performers can quickly adapt to new and challenging situations or environments. Adaptability is seen in those with a willingness to try new things and a demonstrated love of learning. If you’re looking for top talent, look for professionals who are learning a new language, or someone who’s always checking out new places to eat on the weekends.
They Have Enthusiasm
If your staff is pessimistic, they’ll quickly bring everyone they work with down, too. Top professionals will always be positive. And all that positivity and enthusiasm for their work naturally draws others toward them. Remember, a great attitude is contagious and good for business.
Top Talent Will Solve Problems
If things worked perfectly, you’d draw up a plan with clearly defined goals and cross off each item as you complete them – without obstacles or bumps in the road. But life never quite works out the way we think it will, and neither do our projects. That’s why top performers are great problem solvers. Naturally resourceful and creative, they will instinctively search for solutions when faced with problems, often seeking out the most effective and efficient method to resolve them.
They’re Calm
The ability to remain calm in the face of a stressful situation is often overlooked, but its value is critical to any successful endeavor. Whether reaching out to a new prospect or tackling other on-the-job problems, the best staff will always resist the urge to buckle under pressure. Top talent is calm, cool and collected.
They Are Committed to the Work
An essential part of the successful completion of any project is having staff committed to completing the task. A well-developed work ethic isn’t something learned from reading books or weekend seminars. A commitment to work is cultivated over the years. And top talent is brimming with it. They not only care about getting a job done; they care deeply about getting the done right while cultivating relationships.
If great talent were easy to find, everyone would do it. But it isn’t easy. It takes a specialist to find the top performers who can step up and start making contributions on day one.
