Executive Level Job Placement
Placing the right person in the right position is a complex challenge. At Florida Maxima, we take a holistic approach to job placement. This means considering not only whether:
- The candidate has the “right stuff,” as NASA would say,
- The candidate is the right fit for the role, and
- The candidate is the right fit for the team and organization.
Only by addressing all three can organizations ensure long-term success.
The Right Stuff
We don’t use the Myers-Briggs or other unvalidated personality tests. Instead, we rely on scientifically validated assessments, applying the same rigorous approach to selection as NASA. Our process is designed to select in candidates with the attributes most desirable for success—and select out those with characteristics that may hinder performance.
Person-Role Fit
Building on our work with NASA on team roles, we examine person–role fit as a critical factor in team assembly—focusing on the informal roles that are essential for team effectiveness. For more detail, please see our published paper on this topic: Team Roles: A Review and Integration
Person-Team/Organization Fit
Our approach to person–team and person–organization fit emphasizes both complementary and supplementary compatibility—ensuring individuals align with the skills, culture, and dynamics of the team. This perspective is grounded in our recent research on team composition conducted for the Army Research Institute and the Air Force Research Laboratory.
