How do you spot the potential in something thats looks ordinary?

What does potential which has not yet found expression look like?

How do you spot a superstar who is not yet a superstar?

What does talent that whispers look like?

These are some of the questions that we tackle during this episode. You'll also hear from two collegiate athletes that share a story of hard work, diligence, and belief.

CONSIDERATIONS

  • It's not about the performance - it's about the story behind the performance
  • Understand the difference between a fatal flaw and an opportunity
  • Put passion above skills

What you should never forget about TALENT IDENTIFICATION

  1. The world is full of overlooked talent. If you look in the same way and in the same places as everybody else, you'll get what everybody else gets.
  2. Great potential does not necessarily manifest itself in current top performance.
  3. Hire for skills and fire for attitude.
  4. Talent identification is not about talking. It's about listening. Listen for what you can't tread in a resume.
