The Breakthrough Hiring Show: Recruiting and Talent Acquisition Conversations

EP 79, Part 2: How misalignment between the employee’s title and competency can result in inefficiencies, inadequate decision-making, and impact organizational success


Listen Later

In segment 2 of our podcast, James and our guest Janine Yancey, CEO at Emtrain, dive into the world of leadership and share some valuable lessons learned along the way.

The conversation highlights how different business stages require different people with diverse skill sets. They discuss the importance of aligning the titles with the job requirements and why assigning VP titles to those who aren’t truly qualified can lead to several adverse effects.

While providing an impressive title may appear enticing to prospective employees, it can create an environment where individuals are granted responsibilities beyond their capabilities.

James also emphasizes the need for leaders to prioritize team success and align their roles with the company’s Northstar metrics, even if it means reevaluating titles and responsibilities.
