Hire your next applicant based on what matters most, their judgment. No matter who you are, in order to be successful, you must have and use good judgment. Judgment is the primary driver of our decisions, choices and actions; it is more important than personality or even intellect. In fact, personality and intellect have little, if any, correlation to success. Sure, at times a pleasing personality or high intellect helps, but success requires an ability to make successful decisions–and we do that through our judgment. Judgment is neither abstract nor arbitrary. Judgment can be measured, understood and improved. Judgment has specific components and a defined structure.
