Some early career advice to “look out for yourself” may have its merits, but it’s not the whole story. The best way to advance in your career and achieve personal growth is by lifting others up around you. Embrace a mindset of collaboration, share your knowledge, and build a network of supportive individuals. In doing so, you’ll find that true leadership and self-advancement come not from competing but from creating a positive and empowering professional environment.

When you need to engage with an executive search partner to recruit a critical leadership role, is cost your first consideration? Here are my thoughts ⬇️ #executivesearch #recruitment #hiring

Organizations who lack respect of their staff will be left in the dustbin of our workforce always struggling to fill vacancies. People leave people who lack genuine care for their staff. This is especially true with the review of staff accomplishments on an annual basis. Take time to actually reflect on the work and accomplishments of those around you. It makes a difference. There are many opportunities for excellence to be recruited. Don’t settle for mediocre leadership.

🔍 Leadership Lessons💡⚠️ Alan Wurtzel of Circuit City understood the power of people. He knew that his company's success hinged not just on having the right strategy, but on hiring the absolute best talent. #hirethebestpeople #talentfirst Alan was uncompromising in his pursuit of A+ players. "Let's take the time to get it right from the start," he would say. "If we make a mistake, we'll confront it quickly, for everyone's sake." #hiringright #nomorehiringmistakes  Unlike some leaders who recklessly fired at the first sign of trouble, Alan was patient and discerning. He spent countless hours shuffling his team, looking for the perfect fit. "Every minute here saves weeks of headaches later," Alan knew. #puttingpegsinholes #findthebestfit When it became clear someone wasn't working out, despite his best efforts, Alan acted with compassion. He didn't draw out the inevitable, which was unfair to both the employee and the high performers picking up the slack. #actwithcompassion #protectyourbest "How do you know when you know?" you ask. Alan had two guiding questions: "If I could hire this person today, would I?" And if they quit, would he feel disappointed or quietly relieved? #wouldyouhirethemagain #areyourelieved The tale of Alan's exceptional team is one of discernment, care, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. By getting the right people on the bus, and sometimes shifting a few seats until the fit was perfect, he built a powerhouse that delivered stellar results. #rightpeopleonthebus #bigresults Remember Alan's wisdom as you build your own legendary team. Take the time to get it right upfront, be thoughtful through the process, and act decisively but with heart. Your people are your most precious resource - treat them as such. #greatteams #prioritizepeople
