In two days, we swear in a new president. The top job of our complex economy. The selection process, while flawed, has taken two hundred years (and more) of democratic rule and has emerged relatively unchanged. While we are lucky to have a culture that allows a governmental change that is smooth, we could be doing a better job. May I make a few suggestions?
Why not use pre-employment testing on the candidates? Give each one a simulation of a day in the oval office, and treat it like a reality show. The apprentice, without The Donald. Use some career personality tests and share the results with the voting public. THAT would be a good use of technology.
In short, if talent management and job fit and assessment are good enough to run organizations, why not use it for our government?
