The Leadership Insider Series: https://lnkd.in/dFdFxDHc In today’s rapidly changing business environment, skills-first recruiting has emerged as a critical approach for organizations looking to stay competitive. This strategy emphasizes hiring based on core competencies and attributes rather than strictly adhering to industry-specific experience. Companies recognize the benefits of cross-industry expertise and the value of leaders who, throughout their careers, have demonstrated a capacity to thrive amid uncertainty. In this context, Theresa Rynard, a seasoned executive with extensive experience across multiple industries, exemplifies the value of this approach. From her roles in consulting, property, mining, retail, energy, and finance to her leadership positions at American Express, Rio Tinto, and CBRE, Theresa has consistently demonstrated the importance of adaptability and curiosity. Her career transitions have broadened her skill set and provided unique insights that have driven significant organizational growth and transformation. In this interview with Margaret Jaouadi, Theresa shares her journey, highlighting the strategic advantages of embracing diverse experiences and the critical skills needed to lead effectively in today’s dynamic business landscape. "Having a board or senior leadership team with the same industry experience and skills doesn’t provide the diversity of thought needed; it leads to groupthink. Groupthink is fine if you’re on the right path, but when a disruptor comes along or you stumble, you need diverse perspectives to stay ahead." Special thanks go to Jennifer Congdon, Chief Human Resources Officer at M Financial Group, for introducing Theresa to Margaret. #leadershipskills #strategicthinking #innovation #executivesearch

In a world where the quest for talent feels like searching for gold, P&G’s strategy shines bright. With a visionary approach, P&G crafts a career journey for new hires, guiding them through approximately five diverse roles within their first decade. This path isn't just about climbing the ladder; it's an odyssey across brands, business units, and geographies, rich with learning and growth. This method isn't merely operational; it's a cultivation of P&G's future leaders, with over 99% of senior leaders grown from its own fertile ground. Imagine the savings, yes, but more so, envision the vibrant culture this weave within the company fabric. Drawing from my many years at KIP Search, I've observed a universal truth: when companies invest in their people, the returns are manifold. Morale soars, commitment deepens, and talent thrives. Conversely, view your team as replaceable, and you'll find your talent pool dwindles just as fast. Let's take a leaf from P&G's book. Invest in your people and watch them transform into your organization's most valuable asset. #careergrowth #visionaryapproach #leadership Procter & Gamble
