Hire for Culture
Candidates are attracted to culture, and that makes it a tool for us as leaders to draw in talent that understands
our culture and adds to it. To recap- Culture is the character and personality of our organization. It’s what makes
us unique and is the sum of our values, traditions, beliefs, interactions, behaviors, and attitudes.
To revisit the MIL Pledge, MIL places high value on employees who: respect their colleagues, communicate
effectively, and who have a sense of ownership. These qualities can often be overlooked in the hiring process, yet
they are critical elements in determining whether a new hire will not only fit MIL’s culture but also add to it. It’s
about trying to find candidates who understand and embrace our values, and who bring different perspectives
that enable them to express and foster our culture through their unique lens.
In this issue of the Leadership Line, we will discuss some practical ways to help build the MIL Community during
the hiring process with a focus on culture.
