How to differentiate good from great talent



Finding it problematic to hire key talent? 


What are the scientific true predictors of professional success?


In our competitive market for the best talent, it would be great to have a crystal ball that could predict with a high degree of liklihood which candidates will be successful and capable of thriving with minimal direction.  Just help them visualize what success looks like, turn them loose, funnel them resources and reap the benefits.


On way too many occasions, the best looking talent, on paper, lack the stick-with-it'ness to make a difference.
