Hey, Connections!
I don't like to brag, but... I'm going to do it anyway. When it comes to finding exceptional leaders, TurningPoint Executive Search is pretty much a pro. I know, I know. Every parent thinks their child is exceptional, but in this instance, it's true. Having been in the executive search game for a couple of decades has given us a front-row seat to the leadership trends that have come and gone. We know what hard and soft skills make a great leader and which ones will take their organization to the next level.
And those great leaders know how to find the intersection of profit and purpose...
In an era where profitability is no longer the sole indicator of success, a new type of leadership style has emerged: purpose-driven leadership. This type of leadership entails not only the quest for financial gains but also prioritizing positive societal change and environmental stewardship. These individuals, driven by social impact and sustainability, are the ones to watch for during the recruitment process.
How does an organization find leaders who embody the values of social impact and sustainability?
Mastering Recruitment: Strategies for Discovering Purpose-Driven Talent
Establish Guiding Principles: Before commencing recruitment, anchor your organization’s values firmly and define your purpose so you can clearly communicate them to your recruiter.
Craft Engaging Stories: Work with your recruiter to develop narratives that resonate with potential candidates, emphasizing your organization’s dedication to social impact and sustainability.
Dive Beneath the Surface: As your recruiter presents candidates for interviewing, go beyond superficial indicators to uncover candidates’ true motivations and values.
Assess Alignment: When interviewing candidates, evaluate them not only for their skills but also for their alignment with your organization’s values and commitment to driving positive change.
Foster a Purposeful Culture: Beyond the recruitment process, cultivate an environment that supports purpose-driven leadership, providing opportunities for personal growth and meaningful work aligned with organizational values.
Partnering with an executive recruiter, you can leverage the power of purpose-driven leadership to create a world where profit and purpose coexist, leaving a positive legacy for generations to come.
Cheers!
