As an executive search consultant, I receive a lot of calls from executives in my network before they accept a new job. They always ask me if I believe it is the right opportunity for them and how they can make sure to be successful at this new challenge. When starting a new position, it is critical to build the right team around you. Here are some common traps which you should look out to avoid: ❌ Criticizing the previous leadership ❌ Keeping the existing team too long ❌ Not balancing stability and change ❌ Not working on organizational alignment and team development in parallel ❌ Not holding on to good people ❌ Undertaking team building before the core is in place ❌ Making implementation-dependant decisions too early ❌ Trying to do it all yourself Gathered from "The first 90 days" by Michael D. Watkins. Anything else comes to mind?

In a big company, there's always an internal transfer market. But is it necessary to ask for your leader's permission before offering an exciting role to someone on their team? According to Per Arne Solend, a leader's job is to create opportunities for their team, not to limit them. Even if it's one of the top performers on the team, the answer is still no. The reason is simple: if someone has done a good job and been noticed elsewhere in the organization, that means the team is growing and developing talent. To keep the best people, it's important to be a team others want to recruit from. So, let's focus on creating a culture of growth and opportunity. Thanks to Per Arne Solend for sharing this insight.

I consider myself a great recruiting leader and I don't think its hard to replicate. Heres 3 tips: 1. Do the job of the people that work for you, get in the trenches 2. Figure out the pain points for them that they can't or don't want to articulate 3. Solve their problems and improve the process with their feedback Too many leaders sit in their elevated positions and only look big picture and aren't willing to dig into what your team experiences. Things change over time, in over a decade of recruiting its changed a lot, don't rest on what worked and don't wait for feedback, use your time to help your team and then celebrate their success because you have the firsthand knowledge!

This is one of the most crucial lessons I learnt as a CEO. “Salary and benefits are important, but they're not everything.” You must be thinking about what people really want in their jobs? → Recognition. Don't assume that people know they're doing a good job. You have to show them. From small gestures to big rewards, employees love when their hard work is recognized. Speaking from experience, I have a 100 person sales team and I believe acknowledging achievements and build a sense of belonging towards the organisation. Even studies show that recognition leads to increased productivity by 40%. And so every month, we award the top performers in the sales team. Think about your own company culture. Are you recognizing employee contributions?
