Attitude and skills

I have joined now since a short while the group of freelance and interim managers. I love the short term contracts to say in shape and to learn new trades, but also to work on a few identified competencies that i need to work on. One assesment that i took indentified “managing up” as a to develop strenght for instance.

this brings me to the topic of the recruitement process in which i’m getting into now. With a very diverse background one of the things i now experience is the new way of recruiting: hiring for attitude and training for skills. An example: http://www.fastcompany.com/26996/hire-attitude-train-skill

so now spot the difference between then and now:
