We have come across hiring managers that insist the candidate must be from exactly the same industry, same scope and similar level of exposure. Sure, if you are hiring a heart surgeon, go for that. But for most roles, that is a limiting belief. Talent is everywhere! #leadership #mindset

Here we were —> A total spend of over 2.8M on our salaries alone. A highly educated and experienced executive leadership team. Charged with massive responsibility to ensure a healthy learning organization. Sitting in meetings daily with each other. Yet, when I looked around, I saw and heard leaders: ➨ Jockeying for positioning ➨ Insisting on undermining each other ➨ Passive aggressive control tactics in favor of self-preservation Two decades with three different executive leadership teams in three different organizations made it clear to me. I decided not to try again with a 4th organization, so I crafted an exit strategy instead. Began to build a plan where I could: ➨ Honor my energy ➨ Create my destiny ➨ Respect my intuition Some didn’t understand And, honestly, some still don’t. But I knew NOT leaving would be harder than working with another team in the broken education system. So I overcame the objections and choose to build a life that serves me.

Hiring people with #livedexperience. No matter how much education or professional experience someone has, you simply cannot train them to understand things the way someone with lived experience does. People with lived experience can bring valuable insight, deep perspective, unique compassion, and a relatability that others may not have. People with lived experience can share their knowledge for the benefit of those we serve and those we work alongside. There is a very important place for lived experience and knowledge in the helping sector. I would argue this should be a priority. When hiring, it is worth considering applicants who have lived experience, who have invested in their own healing/growth and now seek to share this with others. Invite this type of sharing and discussion in the application and hiring process! Validate these experiences! Many skills can be taught or mentored, and bringing someone on to the team who has that lived experience is worth the time and energy. As leaders, let's invest our time into people who have "been there, done that". #leadership #development #livedexperiences #buildyourteam

The hiring process can be long and difficult. But someone’s attitude and passion are so important, especially when looking at being a good fit and meshing with your team. What do you look for when you are hiring? The IP profession is looking at a new group of folks entering the field so this is going to be really important over the next couple of years. 🤩 #leadership #infectionprevention

I have always felt, hiring the right talent has an element of luck associated with it. You can test the knowledge of the candidate but you cannot test their sense of accountability, their willingness to go above and beyond when needed and leadership skills that set them apart. In today’s world, talent alone doesn’t cut it. What are your thoughts on this? #leadership #hiring #productmanagement
