The Engaging Brand podcast covers social marketing, business ideas and brand marketing tips.
Anna Farmery talks to Claudio Fernández-Aráoz, senior adviser at global executive search firm Egon Zehnder about the forthcoming It's Not the How or the What but the Who: Succeed by Surrounding Yourself with the Best (Harvard Business Review Press, 2014).
It was a wonderful discussion that covered:
- What is the definition of talent?
- Where the word headhunter comes from and why headhunting does not always work.
- Why looking for the perfect person to fit a role is wrong - whether for a leadership role or a friendship role in your life.
- How interviews are a "conversations between two liars"
- How we need to take responsibility for our own career.
- How rearing calves taught Claudio a valuable recruitment lesson!
- The key skill of customer impact - the best skill you can show and find.
- Have you got a 'forestry strategy' for your company? An inertia on addressing talent problems.
