Getting the People Equation Right:<\/b><\/h1>\n

How to Get the Right People in the Right Jobs and Keep Them<\/strong><\/p>\n

People are <\/span>not<\/span> your greatest asset. The right people, in the right jobs, effectively led are your greatest asset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every leader today has a heightened challenge in getting the right people in the right jobs. You will not be equal to that challenge if you follow the traditional approach for making a hiring decision. That is assessing qualifications\u2014experience, education and skill set\u2014and then conducting and interview that is inherently subject to confirmation bias.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a better way, I call it the People Equation:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Attitude (Suitability) + Qualifications (Eligibility) + Culture Fit = Job Success\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The People Equation provides an analytical framework (people analytics) to guide the reader in selecting people who have the qualifications and the attitude toward the job that support them in doing a fantastic job and who have shared cultural values. The People Equation infuses objectivity into people decisions. Understanding the role and power of behavioral data is the heartbeat of people analytics and getting the People Equation right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But getting the right people in the right jobs is only part of the success story. The rest of the success story is keeping them. And that is about leadership. You have people who can do the job successfully, but do they want to do the job for you? The book sets out 5 leadership commitments that support engaging and retaining talent.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a ton of books on how to hire people, but most of them are, as the old saying goes, \u2018a mile wide and an inch deep.\u2019 They have lots of ideas, but precious little on the true science and real world \u2018how to\u2019 behind effective hiring and retention of excellent employees. Logan Loomis takes you on a deep dive into getting the people part of your business right. <\/span>Getting the<\/span><\/i> People Equation Right<\/span><\/i> is a rock-solid value and a pleasure to read. Highly recommend!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWow! Finally, a book has been written in a concise and entertaining fashion by someone who <\/span>gets it!\u00a0<\/span><\/i>For nearly 30 years I have been starting and growing companies and have intuitively relied on Logan\u2019s principles.\u00a0Now Logan has created the hiring and leadership manual that will be required reading for all my various business executives.\u00a0How I wish this book had been around 30 years ago to make my life easier.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the most pressing demands on leaders today is how to identify and retain top talent.\u00a0 Logan Loomis\u2019 book <\/span>Getting the People Equation Right<\/span><\/i> gives practical insights into how to best select people who can do the job and how to lead them in a way that gets them to do the best job for you.

    \u201cLoomis has cracked the code\u2026and your organization can be better for it.

I would add that Loomis is a pleasant writer and is enjoyable to read. Not common in worthwhile business books.
