However, when I&nbsp;interview people for jobs, I have a criteria that ranks even higher than proven performance, and that is how well the person fits with the team&#8217;s values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Importance of Values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Values<\/strong> are&nbsp;important because&nbsp;the CCCC team developed them on the basis of which behaviours and attitudes cause&nbsp;team members&nbsp;to raise or lower their respect for a teammate as a productive contributor to accomplishing our mission. The team&#8217;s values ended up defining the qualities of a&nbsp;very high-performing team. As a result, our performance reviews are based on adherence to the values, not activity levels or results. Activity and results are natural consequences of working by the values. Since we&nbsp;evaluate performance by&nbsp;our values, it only makes sense that they should also be the <strong>selection criteria<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My main concern about hiring to our values&nbsp;is to preserve the integrity of our high-performing team. I am proud of the team and the quality of its work and don&#8217;t want to insert a new person who does not live by our&nbsp;values. I think that would be setting them up for a bad experience and it would be demoralizing to the current team. We don&#8217;t ask about values directly, but the questions are designed to bring out the candidate&#8217;s past behaviours that are related to the values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Personalities Should Differ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As for personality? If everyone on staff had the same personality, this would be a dull place and we&#8217;d have few perspectives to bring to the table. A good variety of personality styles helps ensure we have a variety of viewpoints and real options to consider. It also contributes to a healthy dynamic in the workplace. We have lots of laughter here at CCCC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My main concern about hiring to our values is to preserve the integrity of our high-performing team.
