4. Job Search Success--Attitude Matters
Leadership training and management consultant firm Leadership IQ tracked 20,000 new hires
over a three-year period and found that 46% of them failed (got fired, received poor performance
reviews, or were written up) within 18 months. The data showed that 89% of those failed hires
were for attitudinal reasons.
Nearly 9 in 10 "failed hires" in a recent study lacked the right attitude for the job.---
They lacked 'coach ability,’ emotional intelligence, motivation, or the right temperament for the job.
Only 11% failed because of technical or functional incompetence.
With high unemployment and a global market delivering talent to U.S. shores, there is an
abundance of skilled workers in today's market, says Leadership IQ chief executive officer Mark
Murphey. "Companies are pretty good at finding and testing for skills. It's much harder finding
people that fit the culture," he said.
