How to Find the Best Managers to Hire or Promote<\/h1>\n

Patrick Bosworth, CEO and Founder of Leadership Choice, recently published this article in CEO World Magazine. The original article can be found here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.13.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a universal feeling of anxiety when it comes to hiring or promoting new managers. Whether your hand is forced because a manager is leaving or being let go, or simply because a new management slot has opened up, hiring a manager can be stressful.<\/p>\n

Since no other role has such a profound impact on team performance and output, choosing the right candidate for a management position can be a huge positive in any company. Managers, more than any other factor, affect the engagement of their employees<\/a>. They and their teams also play a big role in the overall profitability, productivity, and culture of a company.<\/p>\n

And since hiring leaders can cost anywhere from 150-213% of the leaders\u2019 annual salary due to hiring costs and loss of productivity, you want to get this decision right. Add to that studies that indicate it can take anywhere from 26 weeks to two years for a leader to perform at the level of productivity of a leader who has been in the same role for three or more years, and now the stakes are really high.<\/p>\n

All this combined puts a lot of pressure on hiring directors and HR managers. In order to minimize cost and negative productivity impact, it\u2019s important for them to get the hire right with little room for error otherwise the hiring costs compound, and the productivity clock resets.<\/p>\n

In order to minimize the impact of lost productivity, many companies utilize a 90-day probationary window\u2014a make or break period\u2014during which they evaluate a new manager\u2019s performance within a team to determine whether he or she is a good fit. The hope is that they will be able to identify ineffective or poorly fitting candidates early in order to minimize company impact if they fail.<\/p>\n

To answer this question, let\u2019s explore this \u201cmake it or break it period\u201d with a corollary from the aviation industry:

The Killing Zone<\/h2>\n

There are few industries in which a \u201cmake it or break it period\u201d is more pronounced than in the aviation industry.<\/p>\n

In his book, The Killing Zone: How and why pilots die<\/a>, Dr. Paul A. Craig, a longtime pilot, flight instructor, and aviation educator, set out to analyze the high accident rate among general aviation pilots.<\/p>\n

During his study Dr. Craig found that 57% of fatal accidents occur in the first 50-250 flight hours.<\/p>\n

This period of time was so pronounced and predictable that it was deemed \u201cThe Killing Zone;\u201d the period of time in which good pilots succeed and where poor pilots are most likely to make a fatal mistake.<\/p>\n

While the statistical representation of the data is sometimes debated, the analysis of this being the timeframe during which a pilot is at the greatest risk for a fatal accident is indisputable.<\/p>\n
