LISTEN: Hiring as a Signal
I recently joined Abbey Harlow on the Winter Roots Podcast to talk about hiring—and what it really takes to bring a new leader into an organization well.
In our conversation, we explore:
How to know when it’s time to hire
When it makes sense to use a recruiter
The role of the board in a search
What your compensation approach communicates
What those first 90 days can look like
One idea we kept coming back to:
Hiring is never just a process. It’s a signal.
It reflects your values, shapes your culture, and sets the tone for everything that follows.
If a leadership transition is on your horizon, this is a helpful place to start.
Thinking about a leadership transition? I work with nonprofit boards to plan and facilitate thoughtful executive searches and leadership transitions.
