Good talent requires nurturing. Share a vision with them. However, if you cannot offer a path, let them create their own path.
An interview experience. Read on.
I received a CV from a close connection.
I liked the CV as it had a good experience and was a CFA charter holder.
The HR scheduled the interaction.
I was thoroughly impressed by him.
Mind said to get him on board. Heart said to let him go.
I decided NOT to hire him.
After a few days, I spoke to him and informed him about my decision.
I conveyed that I would love to get him on board, but he will do well in an investment role.
He took my feedback well and kept me informed about his job search.
I kept guiding him.
He landed a job with a fund house.
He called me after a few months.
He thanked me for helping him to get to his dream role.
“Leadership is not about grabbing the best talent to create a dream team. It is about letting go if that is best for the talent.”
