When we think about executive recruiting, the model often follows a very traditional route that focuses on headhunting talent outside the company with the experience deemed necessary to fulfil a role. But there is an element of this process that is often overlooked at the detriment to success – internal mobility.

Joining us on the show to discuss this is Roopesh Panchasra, the Global Head of Executive TA at Uber. According to Roopesh, we need to put more emphasis on looking at our internal executive communities. In this week’s episode we’ll chat about the importance of intentionality in this sphere, especially when it comes to developing internal talent and thinking ahead to future roles. We’re also going to dive into the idea of ‘leadership currency,’ where transferable skills and particular behaviors should be targeted in internal employees who could be on-track for promotion to these positions.
