Lodestone People Consulting

?? Spotting red flags in job interviews can be a real skill! Our founder, Sandy Fiaschetti, Ph.D., shares her insights on this in Fast Company’s recent article, highlighting those subtle signs—from vague role descriptions to evasive culture answers—that can tell you so much. ?? At Lodestone, we’re here to help you cut through the noise with our Executive Assessment services. We start by understanding the specific business context and the top three imperatives an executive needs to fulfill. From there, we assess candidates’ competencies and personality traits to make sure they align perfectly with your team’s needs. With Sandy’s advice and our data-driven assessments, finding the right fit becomes less of a gamble and more of a strategic win!

This is so on point! Just because someone’s got a bunch of years under their belt doesn’t mean they’re ready to lead. At Lodestone, we know that what really matters to our clients is a candidate’s overall skillset. That’s why we dig deeper with our executive assessments to find those game-changer qualities: adaptability, financial savvy, and the magic touch to rally teams through big changes. And guess what? Research backs us up—focusing on these core skills is a much better predictor of success than just counting years. We’re here to help our clients build leadership teams that don’t just keep up but are ready to take on tomorrow’s big challenges. Look for leadership skills and not some amorphous cloud of traits called “experience”. You don’t want to be stuck with “experienced” leadership with no skills to speak of! #hiring #selection #PrivateEquity #IOPsych #leadership #iopsychmemes #LodestoneHR

Relying on intuition alone in hiring and leadership decisions may have worked in ye olde days of knights and castles, but the present calls for scientifically validated methods for executive assessments. Today’s leaders understand that data-driven strategies reveal hidden competencies and lurking risks in leadership candidates that instinct alone cannot foresee. Research shows that scientifically validated assessment of leaders is linked to stronger cultural alignment, smoother transitions, and reduced turnover. Those who cling to gut feelings may find themselves outpaced by teams that thrive under the clarity and precision of evidence-based practices. So, noble leaders, leave behind the ways of old. In this modern age, the path to success is lit by data-backed insight—not the dim flicker of intuition. #LeadershipDevelopment #DataDrivenDecisions #ExecutiveAssessment #PrivateEquity #IOPsych #ExecutiveAssessment

?? This might sound kinda kooky, but as a leader, your job is to be a jack-o'-lantern — a bright light that leads others through the dark and keeps the ghouls and goblins (disorder and chaos) at bay.

At Lodestone, we believe the light is already within you — it’s just about finding the best way to carve the pumpkin to let it shine through. Our Leadership Advisory Services (LAS) help leaders refine their strengths, align with business goals, and develop the clarity needed to lead with confidence. With expert coaching and psychometric insights, we’ll help you become the brightest jack-o’-lantern on the block, not just for Halloween, but all year round. Don’t leave your employees in the dark! This spooky season, maybe the scariest thing you could be is an uninspired, micromanaging boss. #LeadershipAdvisory #StrategicAdvisory #ExecutiveDevelopment #IOPsych
