...the strengths & weaknesses of other? The characteristics needed by individual team members depend on the team & the strengths & weaknesses of others who r on the team. In other words, the situation is much more dynamic than assuming that there is 1 static job with a single set of qualifications. How could u model or include this dynamic & interactive nature in the recruitment & hiring process?

In many organizations that have moved to a team structure, the team is the principal unit where work get done. However, most organizations recruit & hire as though there was 1 job description & the team didn't exist. The reality is that people have natural strengths or tendencies &, therefore, end up playing different roles on a team. For example, some people r naturally empathetic & focused on interpersonal issues. Others r focused on & most comfortable with technical aspects. Others like the excitement of identifying new concepts & solutions but arent's cut out for dealing with the operational details needed to carry them through. Recent research has found that allowing people to play to their strengths can yield maximum performance & employee satisfaction.
