Even when you’re not interviewing for a leadership role, hire people who can inspire
50% of employees have left a job to get away from a bad boss.
Organizations with strong leadership are 13x more likely to outperform their competition.
It’s not just the leader’s own skills and vision that drive that success— it’s their ability to inspire, motivate, and unleash the potential in others.
On the flip side, poor leaders can make their teams less motivated and efficient and more likely to quit.
No matter what seniority level you’re hiring for, it never hurts to think about a candidate’s leadership potential. After all, you could be hiring the company’s future CEO without even realizing it.
