Get the Wrong People Off the Bus – Voluntarily
April 17th, 2007Art Schoeck, founder and CEO of Data Dome, Inc., will be interviewed on Business Radio 1160′s “Atlanta’s Business,” a half-hour show that focuses on the movers and shakers of Atlanta’s business community. Schoeck is an expert on employee assessments and behavioral style strategies for the workplace.
Host Jeff Davis and Schoeck will discuss the topic “How to Get the Wrong People off the Bus – Voluntarily” during the show that will air at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday April 21st and Sunday April 22nd. Data Dome Inc. will also podcast the show after it has been aired.
The bus metaphor is sometimes used to explain what it takes to move a company from being average into becoming excellent.
You’ve got to get the right people on the bus and you’ve got to get them into the right seats. This also means you’ve got to get the wrong people off the bus (or at least into a better seat!).
Schoeck will address how the wrong people got in their positions in the first place, and how to avoid putting people in the wrong places. Typical job incompatibilities, and ways for businesses to be able to more effectively predict whether an individual has the potential to be successful in a specific position will be discussed in the context of how – objectively – to determine which people are in incompatible positions (“wrong seats”) or have been mistakenly hired (“wrong bus”). Listen to hear how to present the situation in such a way as to “get the wrong people off the bus – voluntarily.”
