Warning to Business Leaders and Senior Hiring Managers
London, November 3, 2017
Whether you are a Team Capital client, future client or senior candidate working with our firm, pending GDPR regulations mean that you – as individuals – need to take control of your career and future opportunities. This further amplifies the importance of ensuring you have close ties to a global search firm, such as Team Capital. If senior business professionals fail to facilitate their data being stored by search firms, they will simply fall off the radar post May 2018 and the doors to many roles will start to swing shut. Failure to consider what you need to be doing as individuals will remove you from the radar of the executive search sector and your career prospects could be put in jeopardy.

An exceptional leader we know would occasionally get a question from his direct reports in a variety of forms but with the common message, “Do you want this done fast or right?” His answer was always the same: “Yes!” He chose not to compromise on either dimension. For this leader and for most highly effective leaders we know, making mistakes is not an option. But neither is slowing down. Continue reading

For chief executives and other senior leaders, it is not unusual for 60-80% of their pay to be tied to performance – whether performance is measured by quarterly earnings, stock prices, or something else. And yet from a review of the research on incentives and motivation, it is wholly unclear why such a large proportion of these executives’ compensation packages would need to be variable. First, the nature of their work is unsuited to performance-based pay. Continue reading

Managers and organisations that can adapt will flourish rather than face a costly flounder. Continue reading
