Star Performer or Cog In The Wheel

I’ve been reading some interesting things lately about finding star performers.  How to spot them and attract them.

As I think about the recruiting assignments we handle for clients, there is no doubt that there are times when we are looking for a star performer.  Star performers have incredible impact on organizations, which is why the ability to find them is so valuable.  However, many times we are not looking for star performers.  Many times we are looking for a Cog In The Wheel.

The right Cog can be just as hard to find as the star performer and just as important to make things work.  The important thing is to know what your need is and what will fill it.
