In an effort to hire better, NASA has researched and developed the “NASA Systems Engineering Behavioral Competency Model.” The document is 27 pages, and as you would imagine, it is detailed, rigorous and deeply annotated. Look, going up in the air is not a trivial matter, particularly if you want to bring the folks back to earth in one piece.
I was all in because the hardest job for a CEO is hiring. You go to Human Resources, for example, and you say we need a salesperson. You write a spec, you define the job, you think you know what you want, and then you go wandering in the wilderness without a compass, because you are often looking for the wrong thing.What you need to look for first are those three traits. Let’s do thick skin.
The third characteristic is an optimistic outlook. This sounds simple, but as we all know, it isn’t. NASA says, “To be able to see a high-stress situation through to the end, an individual needs to believe the mission can succeed.” If those three traits are powerful markers for success in a company, the next question is how do you test for them, how do you identify them in an applicant, and how do you promote them within your company?
