One good hire can transform a team. One bad hire can quickly become a distracting nightmare. In the interviewing process, it can oftentimes be exceptionally difficult to tell which type of employee you’re going to get. As such, at times recruiting can seem like more of a game of chance than one of skill.

However, it doesn’t have to be. By far, the most important thing to look for in recruiting candidates is a higher level of Motivational Intelligence (MQ). Higher MQ is the single greatest determinant of an individual’s likelihood of success. Candidates with higher MQ will excel in five critical areas:

• They will be Accountable – taking ownership of goals, learning critical skills, and finding solutions to problems.
• They will be Adaptable – exhibiting an open-mindedness, willingness to listen, and a desire to leverage ongoing feedback to grow.
• They will be Resilient – remaining positive and persistent in the face of adversity and challenges.
• They will take the Initiative – moving proactively on strategies and ideas with a level of drive and commitment that assures success.
• They will move with Courage – showing a willingness to move past limiting comfort zones they will embrace change with a positive perspective.
