Practical tips, tools and ideas on leadership, management and organizational success

The right one can fuel innovation, retention, and momentum—especially in organizations poised for rapid growth. That's because top talent is looking for: - Challenge that pushes them to grow. - Culture that makes them want to stay. - Growth that opens new doors. - Leadership that inspires and lifts.

Big shifts are happening in how we hire—and if you’re still doing things the old way, you’re already behind. Here’s what’s reshaping the hiring landscape:

As a leader, I’m excited by LinkedIn’s new AI job search tools that let recruiters and candidates speak naturally about goals – a simple phrase finds relevant roles without exact keywords. Hiring teams can now describe roles in plain language, and the system will surface matching candidates. For example, typing “business partner in a gaming startup” finds relevant people even if those exact words aren’t listed.

You know the ones. They left their last role because they refused to answer emails at midnight. They turned down a “promotion” that demanded 70-hour weeks. They’re labeled “quiet quitters” – but I call them 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤.

3️⃣ 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 ↳ Speed kills bad hires. Move fast, but leave room for intuition. ↳ Assign a “culture buddy” to new hires (retention starts Day 1). ↳ Measure success by growth, not just retention.

Hiring is more than filling vacancies—it’s about inspiring action and creating meaningful connections. By applying psychology strategically throughout your recruitment process, you can attract the right talent and build teams that drive long-term success.
