A New Way to Know
October 2009
The quantitative measurement of individual characteristics and traits has long been accepted as a key predictor of performance, but the advent of human infrastructure calls for the qualitative measurement of "teaming characteristics": a new way to know how a prospective employee--or a potential successor--will work with others to bring either synergy and support, or problems and obstacles, to organizational activity. Dr. Janice Presser of The Gabriel Institute explains how the concept of human infrastructure takes management and measurement beyond the industrial-age view of people as a pool of generic resources or capital.
