Can we all agree that the people you hire determine the success of your company.  It is not enough to just “fill a role”. Especially if you're a smaller, growing company.  

Every hiring mistake that your company has made is due to your focus on the wrong ego driven priorities.  (Ie: the work to be done, what I think I need, image for the company)

Focus on hiring the “WHO” that aligns with the corporate values first and you’ll achieve unbelievable results.

Our guest today: Tim Spiker, Founder & President of The Aperio 

...And the Who* Not What Principle, a profound research-based truth that has powered 15 years of leadership development success.

Tim’s book, The Only Leaders Worth* Following, reveals that 77% of leadership effectiveness comes from who a leader is and not what they do. Using this principle, Tim helps people become, be, and stay leaders who are actually worth following. Tim’s work includes delivering keynote talks, creating unique and customized learning experiences, and guiding long-term development journeys.

¾ of things working is about WHO the person is who is leading the process.

Why is this important to the company?

77% of leadership effectiveness comes from who a leader is and not what they do. Why? Because trustworthiness drives engagement and engagement drives performance. Therefore we must interview for and intentionally develop leaders who are trustworthy. Not leaders who give the appearance of being trustworthy, but who are actually trustworthy. 

How do we hire the "Right Who" into your company?

Hire for trustworthiness!
