5 pieces C-level professionals should always do it when conducting searches
When I’m going to bring a weekend to the Human Project, an international male organization that supports men’s life with accountability, generosity and service tasks, we often talk about the perception of people on the same weekend that men with different experiences think of people is completely different.
Inexperienced employees may be happy to be there and focus purely on their personal tasks. Those who work multiple times can like something other than Personal tasks to be completed and hope to fill the gaps they see. They have a higher opinion of the seminar. We talked about the staff hierarchy and then arrived at the weekend leader who could see a 100,000-foot eagle and could do a critical moment on the weekend and then dive and push it forward. As leaders, we will coach/coach key figures at critical moments and only step in our authority and responsibilities when necessary and handle critical moments.
As a C-level professional or other senior professional interview with the company, consider that you are moving to a new land where you may or do not know anyone or know your assets are getting involved in a situation?
Here are several ways to explore new land and decide if this is an organization that makes sense to you.
- Ask yourself: “What is the most important thing for you in your next job or organization? What do I need to see or hear to believe this is a good choice for me?” It all starts with understanding your needs and desires. I’m not suggesting that you create a statue or shrine for these desires you worship. Before you start your search, you really need to know what you are aiming for and what you are willing to be flexible. This becomes a key document when you evaluate the decision later, so don’t skip this and think you know what it is. Until you put it down in writing, you are at risk of deceiving yourself to do things you shouldn’t do.
- What is the company’s mission? I wrote an article titled “The Questions for Every C-C Candidate (and many non-C-suite Potential Hirings) that encourages employers to ask C-C-Professionals to ask potential employees if they understand the company’s mission. Why is it here (besides making a lot of money)? Is it a call to fall behind? It’s pure deal (we sell stuff and try to satisfy customers). If you need to know your personal appeal and what you want to get from your next job or organization, then there’s nothing wrong with that.
- What are their cultural values? How to deal with your cultural values? Often, senior professionals get lost, focus purely on the short-term goals that their boss sets for them, and lose new jobs that how they provide meaning and value to the company and themselves in their new job. No one will say, “We like traitors and mercenaries. Are you that?” No, they will talk about integrity and cultural health. Do not count on the face value. Asked: “For so many smart people, what challenges do you expect us to face to achieve our institution “Why? ”
- Use the star method of reverse storytelling. . . There is a twist. Try Parm. You may have learned to tell stories by star-rated methods. PAR is simplified – Problem – Action – Resolution. Describe the issues you face, the actions you and your team have made, including any challenges or constraints, actions taken, and the results you have achieved, including indicators of the impact you have made. Ask them about what you are going to get involved, what actions they expect you to perform and what challenges and limitations to achieve, as well as the expected results (and within what time frame). Distortion is to have a clear understanding of the assets and resources available to you. I remember the guy I represent was a headhunter who talked about joining a company without knowing what he was doing. 80% of the money has been spent, but so far, only 20% of the work has been completed. oops! Doomed to fail.
- You have a network. Use it. Don’t simply use your network for popular introductions to verify what is being said and minimize surprises. Surprises are rare. Remember to use your network to verify and confirm.
For you in a C Suite or senior position, you have the opportunity to lead, survey the landscape from 100,000 feet and provide your unique perspective while fulfilling yourself while accomplishing important things for the organization.
Take a moment to follow the model to get there.
