Don’t all winners have some competitive spirit? For years, “Trait Competitiveness” has been one of the most sought-after personality factors in business recruiting, but in addition to identifying aggressive charismatic performers, it is also found among unhealthy competitors whose “win-at-any-cost” tendencies can damage morale and even expose organizations to legal liabilities.
Kathy (“KK”) Koultourides is a nationally acclaimed award-winning Trainer and ATD Certified Professional in Learning and Performance (CPLP) whose groundbreaking book entertainingly describes her 20 years on the front lines as a corporate trainer and how she developed a method to identify and separate potentially toxic competitors from top performers in the recruitment and onboarding stages.
This presentation (which includes a complimentary copy of Kathy’s book for the first 15 CHO members who sign up) will cover:
- Case histories of how recruiting the wrong kind of competitors impacted organizations.
- The best way to screen out unhealthy competitors before you hire them.
- How to identify toxic competitors in the training/onboarding stage and what to do about them.
Kathy Koultourides held senior leadership roles in Talent and Organizational Development at Univar Chemicals, Republic Services, Aramark Uniform Services and Wells Fargo Alarm Services.
