The People Principle – Hiring for Culture Fit 🫱

Last month, I watched a client struggle with a “perfect” hire who had incredible credentials but became toxic to team morale within 60 days. Sound familiar?

Skills can be taught. Character cannot.

Here’s my 3-step Culture Fit Framework:
→ Values Alignment: Do they share your Core Values?
→ Communication Style: How do they handle conflict and feedback?
→ Growth Mindset: Are they learners or know-it-alls?

The result? My client’s next hire scored lower on technical skills but higher on Culture Fit. Six months later, they’re the team’s top performer AND morale booster.
