In some of my future blog articles I will go way back to Maslow, McGregor, Herzberg, etc. From the "Human Side of Enterprise" by McGregor, which I refer to as a "how to" manual, the idea of "goal congruence" formed a basis for what you are driving at. There has to be some congruence with the goals of an employee and the goals of the organization. Richard Bolles "What Color is Your Parachute" focuses on the individual defining his goals, talents, gifts, values, working conditions, organizational climate, etc requirements before looking for a job. Job hunting then looks for the job with the greatest congruence with the individuals desires. Maybe the hiring organization should go throught Richard's program to define the desires they would expect from a prospective employee. This would be a good outline for interviewing. I used to send community information to out of town applicants,set them up with a real estate agent for a tour. I had flowers delivered to his/her better half when I made a job offer. Just some off the wall thoughts. However, you will find them laced into my Blog articles in the future. Your fellow blogger Rex Gallaher Well said.
