How to Improve Your Leadership Hiring Process

How to Improve Your Leadership Hiring Process

Leadership plays a pivotal role in the success of any organization, influencing its vision, direction, and culture. Leaders inspire, motivate, and empower teams to achieve goals. However, recruiting the right leaders is a complex task, especially in today's competitive market.

The Challenge of Leadership Hiring

In reality, 47% of poor hires occur at the leadership level, leading to detrimental consequences such as low performance, high turnover, poor morale, and damage to reputation.

Enhancing the Leadership Hiring Process

To address this, organizations must refine their leadership hiring process, incorporating best practices to attract, assess, and onboard suitable talent for leadership roles. This blog post offers strategies to improve the leadership hiring process and build a robust management team.

1. Define Your Leadership Needs and Expectations

Begin by identifying the skills, qualifications, and potential required in leaders. Consider the impact of organizational transitions on leadership needs. Engage current leaders and employees in the process to gain valuable insights.

2. Focus on the Right Fit, Not the Best Fit

Shift the focus from a universal standard of excellence to finding candidates whose skills and potential align with organizational requirements and culture. Use diverse criteria and methods to evaluate candidates comprehensively.

3. Communicate Clearly and Effectively

Clear communication is crucial in leadership hiring. Use simple language, multiple communication channels, and regular feedback to build trust with candidates and keep them informed.

4. Make Critical Decisions Based on Multiple Criteria

When faced with a candidate with essential skills but a potential cultural mismatch, consider strategies like nurturing potential through training or embracing diversity by adapting organizational culture.

Leadership Hiring Process: Navigating Dilemmas

There is no definitive answer; decisions depend on factors like the nature of skills, impact of cultural differences, availability of alternatives, and organizational goals.

5. Hire Leaders for What They Can Do, Not What They Have Done

Look beyond past performance and competencies. Focus on the potential business impact candidates can bring to the organization. Use clear criteria and diverse assessment methods to gauge their vision, direction, and cultural alignment.

Concluding Thoughts on Leadership Hiring

In conclusion, focusing on the potential business impact of leaders is essential. By employing clear criteria and diverse assessments, organizations can identify candidates aligned with the role's purpose, inspiring teams to achieve goals. Optimize your leadership hiring process for long-term success.

cult jokes are a symptom of and contribute to the simultaneous sensationalizing of cults (cults are all dark cloaks and animal sacrifices and devil worship and group suicide and despicable/unhinged beliefs) and diminishing of cults ("uwu come join my CULT XD we're gonna make cookies and WORSHIP SATAN teehee"), but i'm realizing how they go so hand-in-hand with the mindset of "only ~stupid/evil/crazy/etc.~ people could possibly join a cult. if it were me i would simply not fall for cult propaganda."

the diminishing part means that people don't take you seriously if you say you're an ex cult member or talk about your experiences in a cult or believe you are a current victim of a cult, because cults are just silly little groups that have weird beliefs but are otherwise innocuous. the sensationalizing part means people will also not take you seriously because if it was Actually a cult cult, that does harm and has evil beliefs, you should've known better because any reasonable person would have seen through it. the other side of "only an [xyz] person joins a cult" is "i am not an [xyz] person so i will never join a cult or be victim to propaganda and other cult tactics." the other side of "if it were me i would simply not fall for propaganda" is "someone falling for propaganda is fully a choice and a personal failing on their part." and combined they make: if you were [xyz] enough to join a cult and fall for propaganda, that means you deserved it.

people who would never make jokes about any other kind of abuse but feel perfectly fine making cult jokes used to kind of baffle me, because why is joking about personal abuse a problem but large-scale/group abuse is fine? why is it suddenly funny when you're the one that wants to perpetuate the abuse? but if your belief around cults is: "your experience wasn't that bad [diminishing], and if it was that bad [sensationalizing] it was your own fault and personal failing [i would simply not fall for propaganda], which means you deserved what you went through [only stupid/evil/crazy/etc people join cults]" and you don't understand how cults or cult tactics work, cult survivors/victims probably feel like a fair target for jokes (they are not, to be clear).

Dear everyone, I decided that the more the merrier, so not only I’m going to recruit two more villains but also extra 9 more! Which makes 11 villains to recruit. I already picked them, some of them, so I need you all to pick some villains and here are the candidates. And don’t forget to ask me and the people who I recruited so far. And I can resurrect the ones that been destroyed as I did with Jafar. A few of them can have their plus ones.

From,

Hades

Other trans people are not your enemy.

This goes for both trans women & fems and trans men & mascs. There are popular trans women twitter accounts telling young trans women that trans men do not care about them and simultaneously denying trans men face any transphobia, there are popular trans men on tumblr telling young trans men that trans women do not care about our oppression, pointing to the lack of talk about murdered trans men as proof.

And some of these points are fair, we should listen to each other more about our struggles. But you are making that difficult. Do you think a trans woman wants to listen to someone who accuses all trans women of hating trans men and not caring about our struggles? Do you think trans men want to listen to someone who says tells people that trans men are future terfs and will never care about trans womens struggles?

Are we not all just sides of the same dice? Are we not all facing oppression from transphobes? Terfs write books about how trans men are mutilating themselves and articles about predatory trans women in bathrooms, republicans fund legislation targeting trans surgeries and hormones, which affects all of us.

And even if we did not face the same struggles, why are we divided? Again, are we not all the same, simply trying to be ourselves in our own bodies? We can each talk about our own struggles, the difficulties we face and the joys we experience without the opposite being true of the other, infact more often than not it's extremely similar and I think we'd benefit from listening to each other more.

Also funny how while Ketheric is my least favorite villain from the Dead Three Chosen, he def is the one I respect the most.

Orin and Gortash are just problem children with behavior issues and delusions of grandeur. Ketheric tho? He just wanted his daughter back.

In the year 2023, after two Fodlan games and one new FE game, I'm here promoting the rarepair that is Marigard.

Excuse me, Miss Marianne, but why are you this concerned about Edelgard? She's your enemy at this point. Do you know who else is so worried about her? Dorothea.

I feel like the existence of the skirmishers (and everything from Chimera Squad) make XCOM come across as massive pricks wrt the aliens. Like the game goes out of its way to dehumanize the aliens (exclusively referring to them as it, saying their all brainwashed and mind controlled, etc) but then turn around and have ex-Advent be people who were at least aware during their time as drones, vipers and sectoids and mutons being obviously sentient and having their own culture, hell, the Ethereals are clearly people too. And then Chimera Squad shows us a future where they're actually treated as such and nobody makes as big a deal about it as I think they should.

I'm really sorry I want to post like. Meta or whatever but I am too sleepy and Ludinus is just too funny. He's had so much time and he hasn't even come up with any good lies to feed people in their one-on-one cult recruitment sesh. He's trying to do recruitment sessions at all when he has the charismatic force of a bug that got lost in my room and can't find the wide open window. He keeps using 'Trust me bro' as a source. His plot is genuinely something like Kill Gods ??? Profit and when people ask about the ??? OR the Profit he goes I'm not sayyyyying stop bullying me haha in a mean girl voice. He cannot read a room to save his life or at least save himself from the absolutely ridiculous blunder of telling the one guy who might want to agree with him for openly stated anti-authoritarian reasons ... 'you should trust me I've personally been like six shadow governments lol'.

HOW ARE YOU SO BAD AT THIS.

[randomnameless]

So because of Leopold's support and the shadow assassinations by the Agarthans and Humbert , it would be irrealistic to have a civil war happen early on (as in it start during the first year of the war) despite how Edelgard's extended lmanifesto (not just the church part) screw over the nobility while at the same time screwing the church that, unlike the nobles, the civilians of Adrestia seem to somewhat give a shit about?

At least if the intent when writing a fanfic is to respect the lore/world building of Canon?

We don't see enough Adrestian civilians to even know what they think about, we heard about "missing" church people in Adrestia, but nothing about the commoners - we only hear in passing iirc Ashe talking about starvation because of the war, but idk if he's talking in general or about Adrestia.

Ferdie'n'Lysithea's paralogue tells us the randoms in Hrym and being bled dry under Ludwig's name (when he's actually framed by Thales!), and even if the game tries to avoid this topic like the plague, I still wonder where all those "war assets" are coming from, especially since the "people working" on those projects didn't hesitate a second to use Adrestians as guinea pigs (iirc Remire is in Adrestia!).

So Hubert's secret police + starvation + whatever is happening thanks to Agarthans riling people up like what happens in Hrym + Leopold being in charge of the army (that is made up of people from other places than just, Bergliez) + Hubert being Hubert, aka willingly take people hostage or threaten them to make their families comply + Supreme Leader (I mean Hubert) jailing/rekting "corrupt" nobles in the first days of her ascension to the throne...

Nopes apparently says Enbarr's people are pretty happy about the war, because they're revanchists and are hell removed from the frontlines - but what about the rest of Adrestia?

I once compared the coronation scene in CF to a coup (because Billy and Supreme Leader are accompanied by soldiers) but it would sort of match, Supreme Leader gets total control of the army through Bergliez's lust of power/conquest, control over the finances because Linhardt's dad is just like that I guess, Hubert oversees everything and, at least in FE16, Arundel still sides with her.

Aegir was neutralised, Vestra Sr was put in a trashcan, and Varley is either reduced to a puppet or to House arrest.

There are no powers left to oppose her in Adrestia, and if commoners somehow managed to rebel, they would have to deal with their very own national army, secret police and random Agarthans... on top of finding enough food to eat to survive while the ressources are given to the frontlines.

But in a way, everything I'm just saying bar the canon facts of :

having Leopold and the Army + Waldemar and the money

Hubert doing Hubert things

opposing big name nobles being swiftly deposed/neutralised just after her coronation (or before in Nopes!)

food shortages

FE16 wise : Agarthans taxing randoms to death/ Nopes : Agarthans killing people randomly

FWIW, AG where we learn a bit more about Adrestia, and how, apparently, Agarthans and bandits (?) are slaughtering randoms there, but the nobles are too concerned by the Kingdom's assault to protect their people, and would rather see them die than divert troops to, just, have the bandits/agarthans stop creating rivers of blood with the bloods of the people they're supposed to protect.

Everything else is headcanon/AUs/fanfic/however you want to call it.

So bar those points... Adrestia just exists and it's a damn shame, because even Begion managed to get its pseudo civil war between Sanaki and the Senate where commoners/people supported one over the other, but in Adrestia? Bar the BE peeps and a few dads, you have the feeling no one else exists.

FWIW, in the non CF routes, the opera company joins Billy's army iirc, so maybe they're not loyalists? And represent some people who aren't that gung-ho about the war?

i have that random headcanon that in Nopes, Manu and Mittelfrank are used for spying stuff, and actually, through Yuri and Manu herself, give intel about what happens in Enbarr to the CoS while the opera workers try to sabotage as much as they can some stuff in the Imperial Army... but that's just an AU lol

[fe3h-polls]

I feel like everyone voting Felix is forgetting about some of his other supports like his bernadetta/leonie/annette supports tbh. like I think if you are not a Blue Lion at most he might be a bit impolite/aloof towards you but he absolutely knows how to be normal and sometimes even respectful, it's really only proximity to people from his country that suddenly transforms him into the worst person you've ever met in your life. fascinating. but again if you are not Categorically Faerghan (TM) (which is also different than just being faerghan) it is basically just like dating a kinda awkward jock who doesn't like to talk a lot

That’s a really great point and an aspect to his character I didn’t immediately pick up on while playing the game, but I wish I paid more attention to! He seems to be really critical of the Kingdom and I think a big part of it is like.. the trauma of his older brother dying, but also because the Kingdom is… frustrating, lol. Felix seems like the type of person who wants immediate action and tangible, meaningful results (like most people do!) and the Kingdom simply does not work that way. I wonder if his frustration towards the other Lions is redirected anger towards his kingdom and its inability to recover.

"you were born evil" but you still named her agatha.

thinking about that process, because it took 18 years right. you have a baby and you call her good and she turns out to be smarter than you, more powerful than you, and it scares you, you dont know how to handle that especially in a world that hates you and her already. the things about her that scare you, will scare the outside world who understands even less than you do ten times more. you dont know how to protect her so you try to control her which is like number one bad idea human response to things that scare us.

obviously this backfires and she gets even more furious in her quest for knowledge, every door you close she finds a window, every place you warn away from she gets into, talking to people she shouldnt be talking to, trying out magic she shouldnt be trying. every step she takes is one further out of your control, further out of anyone's control, every new thing she learns makes her dangerous, puts her in danger, puts your coven in danger, shes exposing all of you along with herself. shes in danger, shes a danger, shes a teenager and she knows more than you, of course shes not gonna listen to you anymore, about anything. of course shes not gonna hear a warning, and if she did she wouldnt take it, just to spite you.

what are you gonna do? youre not the only one whos scared. of her, for her. youve got an entire coven getting panicky about the way shes exposing all of you, the risks shes taking that she may or may not be able to fully understand (maybe shes never seen one of you burned before, maybe shes her own first). and if she were on her own that would be her decision to make, but you are still responsible for your coven and you are responsible for her, for her safety and for the threat she poses. so what do you do? do you even have a choice? or is this just where the mob turns. kick a scapegoat onto a pyre and hope fortune turns for the rest of us. if she cant stick to the rules in place for the safety of all, then shes a ticking timebomb. if it's not her at the stake, sooner or later it's all of you. so what can you do? what are you expected to do?

punish agatha.
