𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞-𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 In their article, Future-Proofing Your Organization, from the Harvard Business Review, Michael Mankins, Eric Garton, and Dan Schwartz explore how companies can rebuild and strengthen their workforce in a post-pandemic world. They argue that future success will hinge on a company’s ability to integrate technology and rethink talent strategies. Below are key takeaways: 1. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬: Less than 5% of roles drive 95% success. Focus on identifying and cultivating skills critical for the future. 2. 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬: Traditional assessments fall short as jobs evolve. Use behavioral science and analytics to redefine excellence in new, tech-enabled roles. 3. 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Reskilling current employees is more cost-effective and morale-boosting than external hiring. 4. 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐔𝐩 𝐇𝐑 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Use AI and big data to streamline HR tasks, from recruiting to development, ensuring efficiency and cost savings. 5. 𝐅𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Employees who work with AI-enabled tools become more productive and satisfied. Ensuring a collaborative approach to tech implementation is key. 6. 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰'𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭: Future employees want flexibility, inclusion, and purpose. Companies must adapt to attract and retain top talent. As digital transformation reshapes industries, companies must shift their workforce planning approach. By embracing technology and a strategic approach to talent management, organizations can future-proof themselves and stay ahead of competitors. #CRGSearch #ExecutiveSearch

𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 Traditional interview questions may give you a partial picture when hiring top leaders. As Barry Conchie, coauthor of The Five Talents That Really Matter, points out, many interviews are clouded by bias, and candidates often come prepared with rehearsed answers. So, how do we uncover the traits that make great leaders stand out? The key lies in asking better, more insightful questions. Here are five thought-provoking questions to ask in leadership interviews and what they reveal: 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝? This question helps determine whether a candidate can lead a diverse team, including those they may not personally like. 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐲. It examines a leader's ability to make tough decisions, particularly when firing someone for reasons other than clear ethical violations. 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥? This is about organizational precision. Leaders who notice the small details often excel at managing complexity. 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞-𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐬? This question explores whether the leader is a big-picture thinker or detail-oriented. 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮. This question is designed to uncover curiosity and a candidate's engagement with new ideas. Conchie's insights remind us that leadership qualities go beyond surface-level answers—it's about truly understanding how candidates think and operate. Crafting the right questions can lead to stronger predictions of leadership success. #CRGSearch #ExecutiveSearch

𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞 '𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥' In any transformation, employee engagement is crucial to success. Utilizing research conducted by McKinsey & Company, authors Dominic Skerritt, John Parsons, Mary Lass Stewart, Matt Schrimper, and Nicolette Rainone highlight the importance of fostering employee "will" to drive change, especially in challenging times. The authors emphasize the three E's of transformation: 1. 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 – Involve a core group of employees to lead the transformation, creating a foundation for success. Organizations see the highest positive impact on shareholder returns by elevating 21-30% of employees into key roles. 2. 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 – Equip a broader coalition of managers and influencers to lead by example, fostering a culture of accountability and innovative thinking. 3. 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐳𝐞 – Inspire the entire workforce with clear, motivational communication. Leaders must connect employees to the vision and energize them to overcome resistance and challenges. By focusing on these steps, organizations can galvanize their employees and increase the likelihood of successful, lasting transformation. #ExecutiveSearch #BusinessGrowth #Transformation
