Throughout our team’s collective industry experience, we have found that every CEO has a strategy, and most CEOs have a financial plan to support that strategy. However, a tragically low number of CEOs have a talent strategy.
Often, having vacancies and needing to fill positions can drive decisions. This in turn creates decisions that are made from desperation instead of strategy, which results in leaders who don’t take the time to truly evaluate a role’s requirements – and consequences. Additionally, a lack of effective processes and systems can be detrimental to fulfilling a business strategy. Without these processes and systems in place, as well as the data behind them, it’s impossible to truly tell if you’re hiring the right people.
