  • Summary

  • Why do some promotions or hires fail, even when the candidate seems like the perfect fit? What is the key to make your employee development or recruitment process more successful?

    Welcome to today's conversation on People Matters at Realising Potential Ltd where Fiona Brookwell and Michael Jones explore the deeper reasons why promotions and new appointments don't always work out - such as misalignment in work styles, expectations and values.

    While skills and experience are important, they’re not the only factors that determine success in a new role. We'll discuss how different behavioural drives and needs influence whether a job really is right for a person.

    We talk about the the role of the manager in setting up employees for success, and why decisions to hire or promote should consider so much more than just a CV.

    If you’ve ever wondered why a great employee on paper struggled after joining your organisation or after being promoted, this episode is for you.
