If you’re the smartest in the room,
It’s better to leave!
Years of giving Miduty the growth, there’s one thing that has been constant and it’s that - I always hire people who are smarter than me in their respective departments.
It’s about building a team that pushes boundaries of what’s possible.
Here’s what I learned about hiring strong leaders in the company:
👉 Hire those who outsmart you (Not ‘<’ Not ‘=’ but only '>')
👉 A strong leader will challenge your thought process (The “Yes” persons are not good for growth)
👉 They must be brilliant with their numbers (and with the growth/decline/problems of their respective department)
Such people sharpen your vision, make you rethink, and take your company to new heights - And this is the reason it’s important!
How do you ensure you hire strong leaders? Let’s exchange ideas! ⬇️

Understanding your team's true needs is crucial. Don't just hire to fill a role—focus on finding candidates with the right qualities to ensure your team's success.
For example, when searching for a Customer Service Manager, our client's initial emphasis was on IT expertise. However, it soon became clear that leadership qualities like empathy and the ability to manage metrics were more important. By prioritizing these traits, the company found candidates who learned the necessary IT skills and thrived as leaders, driving the team's success forward.

“At the end of the day, the best way to respect and reward the A players on your team is to surround them with other A players. This is how you attract more A players. And it means you must invest as much energy into hiring as you expect the team to invest in their jobs.” - Will Guidara
Effective leadership goes beyond simply guiding. It is about showing others how to navigate challenges and fostering a culture of innovation that allows team members to excel.
Hiring the right people to help your team thrive is a leadership decision.
At T. Burks and Associates, we connect talent with opportunity.
Hiring people who have expertise in areas you don’t is crucial to building a strong team.
A real team is made up of individuals who complement each other’s knowledge and skills.
Surrounding yourself with experts not only strengthens the team but also helps you grow as a leader.
It’s about creating a collaborative environment where everyone’s strengths are utilized.

🌟 Are you interviewing candidates for senior roles this week? Here are some key traits to consider beyond experience:
While experience is crucial, top leaders bring more to the table. I've found that companies who take these traits into consideration see greater success in their leadership hires 👇
Character: They lead with integrity and inspire trust within the team.
Determination: They're relentless problem solvers who overcome challenges.
EQ in Action: They master emotional intelligence, fostering collaboration and a positive work environment.
Results: They have a proven track record of achieving goals and driving business impact.
Cultural Fit: They align with your company values and create a thriving team culture.
Bonus Trait: They're simply nice people!
These are the intangibles that separate good from great leaders. They can't be taught in school, but they're what top performers share.

HIRING AND EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY LEADERS
When you are hiring talent you ultimately want 3 things…
For them to stay, play and slay.
How well you lead people impacts this outcome.
Emotionally healthy leaders positively impact their people, their customers and their bottom line.
They read people well with strong intuition.
I’d love to hear an example of positive leadership impact in your business or organisation?

People don’t just leave companies.
They leave bad managers.
I’ve had the full spectrum of managers in my career.
From unsupportive, toxic, micro-managers.
To inspiring, emotionally-intelligent leaders.
Their impact is immense. They can make or break your career.
No salary is worth a toxic manager.
Find a manager who:
- Says your name when you’re not in the room
- Supports your career and life goals
- Inspires you to learn and grow
- Unlocks new opportunities
- Treats you with respect
- Listens to your ideas
Once you find them, stick with them.

P.S. I get that managers move on too. I’m still in touch with all of my great past managers. They’re my mentors and friends.
My thought of the day to kick start my Friday🤩
Hiring people smarter than you is a powerful strategy for effective leadership. It’s not about feeling threatened, but rather about creating a dynamic team that excels in diverse areas. Here’s why:
1. Diverse Skill Sets: When you hire individuals with expertise different from your own, you enrich your team. Each member brings unique strengths and perspectives, leading to better problem-solving and innovation.
2. Delegation and Empowerment: By hiring smart people, you can confidently delegate tasks. Allow them to shine in their areas of expertise. As a leader, your role is to create an environment where they can thrive.
3. Lead by Example: Set the tone by recognizing their brilliance. Encourage them to take the lead, collaborate, and contribute. Authentic leadership means empowering others, not competing with them.
Remember, it’s not about being fake; it’s about fostering growth and achieving collective success. So, hire wisely, build bridges, and let your team’s brilliance shine! 🌟🚀

𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀𝘁 post highlights the profound impact leadership style has on organizational culture and success. The contrasting approaches of the two CEOs underscore the importance of leadership qualities in shaping team dynamics and business outcomes.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗘𝗢’𝘀 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲, characterized by fear and humiliation, led to a disengaged and apathetic leadership team. This is a classic example of how negative leadership can result in a toxic work environment, high absenteeism, and low morale.
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗘𝗢’𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵, marked by humility and recognition, fostered an environment of engagement and high performance. This positive leadership style not only enhanced employee satisfaction but also translated into tangible business success, as evidenced by the tripling of revenue and low attrition rates.
This tale of two leaders serves as a powerful reminder to carefully consider the leadership environment before making career decisions. It also emphasizes that good leadership is not just about driving success; it’s about creating a culture where employees feel valued and motivated, which drives success. Leadership truly makes the difference between a thriving, productive workplace and one that struggles to maintain its workforce and achieve its goals.

I once worked with two very different CEOs.
The first one:👇
• Led with an iron fist
• Publicly humiliated people on team calls
• Created a culture rooted in fear and mistrust
80% of the leadership team were on “sick leave", disengaged and apathetic.
The second one:👇
• Led with humility
• Publicly praised people on team calls
• Created an engaged culture of high-performance
The business tripled its revenue in 3 years.
It also had the lowest employee attrition.
Do your due diligence before your next move.
The difference between good and bad leadership...
is the difference between destruction or success.
