Interesting article.

Not a political post, just an observation on my own profession: this NYT piece does a good job of illuminating an often frustratingly opaque process -- namely, who gets picked in an executive search, and most important, why. For all the (many) times I'm asked by a board chair or CEO about Bridge Partners - Executive Search's data-based or science-led methodology for identifying candidates, when it comes down to it, the final choice between finalists invariably comes down to "rapport," "comfort-level," or "vibe." Seems my anecdotal experience found application at the Naval Observatory, too: "For Ms. Harris, it was an instinctive reaction to an instant connection rather than a data-driven exercise[.]" Regardless of your political persuasion, there's good information in this article about the decision making process at the highest levels -- what human elements are at play versus so-called hard skills and experiences -- and most interesting for me, there are great observations on candidate anxiety and behavior, including things that might turn off a hiring authority. (Hint: Questions to the hiring team are good, they show interest and engagement. Too many questions are...not always good.)

Looking for top talent to tackle the toughest challenges? At ClarkHouse, we thrive on finding exceptional individuals for even the most demanding roles.

ClarkHouse partners with purpose-driven organisations worldwide, matching them with the right talent to overcome any obstacle. Whether it's the extremes of the Antarctic (lol) or the complexities of a global market, we’re here to help you succeed. Let’s embark on this journey together!

The ship was eventually crushed and sunk, leaving its crew in a desperate fight for survival. It is one of greatest stories of leadership and human endurance.

In this LinkedIn Live, I speak to Talent Acquisition leader Keirsten Greggs. With so many recruiting and human resources professionals laid off, the quest for a new job has become untenable for some. Keirsten shares the importance of talking about a job loss and asking for help, so job seekers feel less alone throughout their career transition. We question the accuracy of the jobs report and talk about why people shouldn’t put too much stock in the data. https://lnkd.in/eDQE5VaS

What’s your definition of success in business? Maybe it’s something like professional growth… Maybe it’s something about achieving targets, portfolio acquisitions, deal closing, or the 1%-ers that go towards fulfilling quotas? That all sounds pretty. Pretty vague. For me, in learning from my time developing Neptune Holding Group Pty Ltd, things are a little more specific. Success in a business context refers to achieving financial profitability.    Success in personal relationships is about building long term high value relationships.    Success in security and safety involves establishing robust systems, protocols, and teams that effectively protect assets, information, and people. It isn’t exactly rocket science, but it works as a formula. Thoughts? P.s. If you feel one of those success statements doesn’t hit the mark with you, I invite you to tell me why.
