Spot the signs of emotional strength before you make your next hire.
If you have ever led a team, you know that an emotionally healthy candidate is worth their weight in gold. We’ve seen super talented team members who are emotionally out of balance and thus a detriment to the team.
Emotionally healthy people relate well to others. They can deal with stress, tension, and failures with grace. They are low on the “drama meter.” They are at peace with the past, undaunted by the present, and optimistic about the future.
