What makes one team so much more efficient, effective, collaborative and productive than other teams? What differentiates a high-performance team from a mediocre team? Is it because of the team structure, individual team members, or a great leader? Or is there more than meets the eye? In Hiring for Performance, Steven Lock introduces the CAAPTM Model that goes beyond looking at the traditional hiring criteria of skills, qualifications and experience. Instead, the model focuses on the Culture, Attitude, Aptitude and Personality attributes of a potential hire. By focusing on these specific character attributes during an interview, the model can help you identify and filter out the right candidates from the masses. Developed over 10 years and deployed successfully in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan and China, the CAAPTM Model will boost your chances of finding the right individuals to build high-performance teams.
