[사람] Only 'RIGHT' People Matter

by Doer Ahn 2009. 5. 14.


In determining "the right people,"
the good-to-great companies placed greater weight on character attributes than on specific educational background, practical skills, specialized knowledge, or work experience. Not that specific knowledge or skills are unimportant, but they viewed these traits as more teachable (or at least learnable), whereas they believed dimensions like character, work ethic, basic intelligence, dedication to fulfilling commitments, and values are more ingrained. As Dave Nassef of Pitney Bowes put it:

I used to be in the Marines, and the Marines get a lot of credit for building people's values. But that's not the way it really works. The Marine Corps recruits people who share the corps' values, then provides them with the training required to accomplish the organizations's mission. We look at it the same way at Pitney Bowes. We have more people who want to do the right thing than most companies. We don't just look at experience. We want to know: Who are they? Why are they? We find out who they are by asking them why they made decisions in their life. The answer to these questions give us insight into their core values.


So, let's get right people on the bus and others off.


Plus, Let me quote NIDEC's HR discipline.



나의 회사에 RIGHT PEOPLE이란 어떤 사람인가?!!
