An approach that...

...LASTS 

LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL: does this person possess the ability or potential to contribute at the leadership team level? 

ATTITUDE: does this person have the ability to remain helpful, positive, energetic, & focused under negative situations?

STRENGTHS: does this person possess the talent, knowledge, & skills for the role and its specific tasks?

THINKING POWER: is this person able to think accurately, creatively, strategically, with an open mind, & a solution-orientation?

SELF-CONTROL: is this person able to self-monitor & self-regulate, particularly when situations are stressing and straining?
