Select them

The sheet for station one, and it is free. One role at a time, written before the next interview. Twenty minutes.

Company ______________________________ · The role ______________________________ · Date ________________

First: the one trait this role fails without

Not a list. One trait — the thing that, missing, sinks the role no matter what else is right. Name it, then say how you would see it before the offer, not after.

The one trait this role fails without	How you would see it before hiring (a task, a scenario, a reference question)

E.g. Dispatcher — stays calm and keeps deciding when three things go wrong at once — a timed exercise with two interruptions during the interview, not a question about it.

Then: what the role actually covers

What this seat answers for, what it decides without asking you, and how you will both know it is done. If you cannot fill the last column, the role is not defined yet.

What this role covers	What it decides without asking you	How you will both know it is done

The testA trait nobody could fail — “a good attitude,” “a team player” — is not a selection criterion; it is how a room agrees to skip the work. If your trait cannot be failed, it is not the one.

The rest of the Team floor

This sheet is the free one — station one, Select them. Inside Base Camp, Team is four stations in order, each ending in a document you could hand to the person it is about:

Station	What you leave with
1 · Select them	This sheet: the one trait the role fails without, and how you test it before the offer.
2 · Align them	One sentence per person naming what they are judged on — the thing they would be measured against if you were away a month.
3 · Engage them	One page a month, per person: the numbers they own, what moved, and one line that says they were recognised.
4 · Develop them	The quarterly grid: able or unable, willing or unwilling — training goes to one, a decision to the other.

Everyone is judged against the purpose set in Direction, never in the abstract. Selecting on purpose is where it starts.
