Setting up a WIN

More than once I have been faced with a position that needs to be filled in my organization. Before the search for the right person begins here are some things I think about:

• define the position
• list the three most important things the job must accomplish
• think through what a successful first 90 days would look like
• think through the personality type that might work best with the staff and position requirements

For me, defining the job, setting real exceptions for a WIN, is a must.
