CliftonStrengths’ Post

I use my Context to continually reflect on how we have done in the past in order to make plans to move forward. It’s an essential source of data - both quantitative and qualitative evidence. #strengths #leadership

Can you give me your shameless plug? What are you good at in the workplace? I recently started asking people this question. There are typically three responses: 1. Some people don't know what they are good at. 2. Some sneer at the question which is rooted in false humility. 3. And those that give a direct answer. Which one are you? Do you know your strengths? If you know your strengths, are you good at filling the weaknesses?

MANY thanks to the folks I've interviewed who have asked me the tough questions. Not only did they reveal and share parts of themselves, they inspired me to ask new questions, too. 💗 Thanks for helping me grow. "The path back to our young, inquisitive self is short. In fact, it depends on asking ourselves one question that links our professional and personal lives: 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒐 𝒘𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘? This question underpins every project, every request, every meeting, and even where we choose to work and live. It is rarely asked as directly as this, but the answer to this underlying question is what shapes our careers and lives. We grow through questioning." https://lnkd.in/eKd-z_Tm #growth #jobseekers #interviewtips

As we are heading into the final stretch of 2023, it is important to already be thinking about how Hiring Managers and Talent Acquisition professionals are going to improve communication next year. It should be a "no-brainer" that communicating progress and feedback throughout a candidate recruitment experience should be a high priority. Sadly, in 2023, it seems that the ability to communicate effectively and promptly seems to have gone the way of the dinosaurs. Even at the most senior levels of hiring, it doesn't even seem to be a concern anymore that senior leaders are being made to wait weeks and weeks for updates and feedback. For me, the problem is that the Hiring Managers et al, are not on the receiving end of their own job application/candidate experience often enough to really see how bad it is, and how it can adversely affect the person involved (yes, that's right, there is another human being that you are ignoring on the other side of those emails and phone calls that haven't been responded to). Recruiters are also equally guilty but a lot of the time, even where you think you have a great relationship with certain clients, the ability to provide any meaningful feedback is stopped in its tracks by a client that just has not responded to follow-up after follow-up. There is no need for a New Year's Resolution - let's make an effort, starting now to improve how we communicate with people (yes, those pesky human beings who have feelings, families and bills to pay) who have taken the time to express interest in joining your business, who have researched and prepared for an interview and who just want to know how they did. #transferpricing #tax #feedback #behuman #communication
