The more complex the job, the greater the difference in performance between an average employee and a top performer. Research has shown that for relatively simple routine work, the difference in performance can be somewhere around twenty per cent, while it can rise to an average of over a thousand per cent for a director´s post. Just consider what this means for your organisation´s performance. It could be the difference between profit and loss, between innovation and following the field, between excelling and grey mediocrity. We can´t think of any stronger argument for making a proper selection before you hire someone.
