What characteristics does John Deere look for in a potential employee?
John Deere has twelve core competencies that are used in conjunction with an employee’s performance evaluation process (referred to as Performance Management). These are the same competencies that we look for in potential employees. While the potential employee may not have mastered these competencies, it is the potential to develop these competencies throughout the candidate’s career that is important. These competencies include Values, Vision, Alignment, Performance, People (building a committed workforce), Communication, Customer Focus, Global Perspective, Business Acumen, Innovation, Change, and Organizational Flexibility.
