All too often, an extensive and thorough search for a manager produces one stand-out candidate. This candidate has the right experience, solid qualifications, and a relevant work history, and he performs well during the interview process. He said the right things, put forward some great ideas and generally presented very well. He got the job.
Three months later you begin to question your decision. You new hire’s team appears disgruntled, morale is low, and output and productivity are well behind the figures from the previous quarter. Your new hire may not be a good cultural fit and one or more of the following hazards may be the cause.
- Inadequate capability
- Poor job fit
- Fuzzy goals and accountability
- Poor relationship with manager
- Poor relationship with co-workers
- Health and wellness issues
- Physical and environmental factors
