Right person for the right job
Put the right person in the right job when hiring or promoting. Like many things this is easier said than done.
One effective practice is to ask a set of key questions to ensure the right person is matched to the right job.
Link title== Key Questions ==
Before hiring or promoting a person to a position it is helpful to ask these questions:
- Does the job need doing?
- What skills; abilities; knowledge and experiences are needed?
- What tools and authorities are needed to accomplish the job?
- Is the mission of the job clear to all? (The boss, the employee, others in the organization working with this employee.)

- "Match Game", by Kevin Kern discusses best practices to match project needs and skills on IT jobs on the ProjectsAtWork, a project management website.
