In conjunction with Real Trends, I recently published a primer on how to build new recruiting habits.
The primer covers the topic in more detail than we normally address in Recruiting Insight.
As a quick overview, there are five important components for building new habits:
A Payoff: the clear and compelling payoff for making a change
Triggers: habits are activated by small events or stimuli
Micro-habits: change is more doable when it’s done in short and specific steps
Effective practice: to gain proficiency, each step must be practiced and measured
Plan for failure: failure and missteps are an inevitable part of building new habits–building a plan for reengaging when it happens keeps the overall mission moving
