One of the things I appreciate most about my current profession is this:
Every day, I get access to people who are smarter than I am.
Clients building extraordinary companies.
Candidates with deep expertise, sharper perspectives, and experiences I haven't lived.
Early in my career, I thought leadership meant having the best answers in the room. Now I see it differently. Real leadership is about having the humility, and the confidence, to surround yourself with people who challenge your thinking, expand your perspective, and raise the bar. This is key when I interview leaders for new roles.
Having access to people smarter than you is not a threat. Itâs a blessing. And in executive search, itâs one of the greatest privileges of the job: learning something new in almost every conversation.
The best leaders donât compete with great talent.
They attract it.
