One of the most important elements in a good employee is his or her attitude. Firms should follow the adage: hire for attitude, train for skill.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


True

Firms can identify top performers by focusing on key employee mind-sets, attitudes, social skills, and general orientations. If they get these elements right, the task-specific skills can be learned quickly. This does not imply that task-specific skills are unimportant; rather, it suggests that the requisite skill sets must be viewed as a necessary but not sufficient condition.
