This article provides ideas, but missed the key point: you are not going to hire and retain 10x employees with 0.25x leaders, even in this example of having 1-2 10x. The 80s leadership style many cling to today just guarantees 90% attrition within 12 months. https://lnkd.in/g-nssaXy

Leadership in Recruitment: A Game Changer 🌟 In today's competitive job market, the role of leadership in recruitment can't be overstated. Effective leaders aren't just filling positions; they're shaping the future of their teams and organisations. Their influence ensures that each hire aligns with the company's vision and culture, fostering a dynamic and innovative work environment. When leaders actively engage in the recruitment process, they bring a wealth of experience and strategic insight. This can lead to more informed decisions, reducing turnover rates and improving overall team performance. An example from my career: by involving department heads in our hiring strategy, we reduced employee turnover by 15% in just one year. It's a testament to the fact that leadership-driven recruitment creates cohesive, high-performing teams. For those navigating the recruitment landscape, remember: leadership isn't just about making decisions; it's about setting an example. When leaders demonstrate commitment to attracting and nurturing top talent, it reverberates throughout the organisation, setting a standard of excellence and fostering a culture of growth and development.

"First, only hire or keep high performers. Secondly, the employer who does not reward and recognize high performers or address low performers or non-performers will always secure two results: a low rate of retention of the right employees and a high rate of retention of the wrong employees. When our talent decides our destiny, you must do everything to identify, recruit, and retain only high performers." https://lnkd.in/eaMZuF7r

I’ve seen this in so many times, leaders who are threatened by strong talent rather than actively seek them out. They hire less qualified, less driven, and less talented people. The result is that the leader ends up subsidizing the performance of the team. Exceptional leaders hire exceptional talent. The result is a multiplier effect on performance.

One common, yet costly, misstep in leadership is viewing recruitment as “HR’s job” alone. Here’s the common scenario: a manager delegates all aspects of recruitment to HR, stepping in only once a new hire is on board. If the person isn’t the right fit or there’s a performance issue, HR becomes the scapegoat. This hands-off approach overlooks a key truth: hiring is a core leadership responsibility. In my nearly 20 years in executive search, I've found that the most effective hires happen when leaders take an active role in the recruitment process, collaborating closely with HR and the hiring team. Conversely, I’ve also witnessed the frustration and costs that arise when managers delegate the entire hiring to HR. Building a great team starts with leaders who prioritize recruitment—not just by setting standards, but by actively seeking and attracting top talent into the organization. #People #Leadership #ExecutiveSearch #Recruitment #Ownership
