Companies often hire executives to help shape their futures. Too often, however, those doing the hiring do not pay attention to context—the organization’s current circumstances and goals—when filling positions below the C-level. When hiring lower-level managers, they typically choose candidates who are versatile and agile instead of those with the specific expertise to handle the unique challenges that lie ahead. This Harvard Business Review article, which presents the findings of a recent study of 85 global companies, highlights the importance of hiring managers who have specialized skills relevant to the task at hand.
Recruiting and retaining key talent requires the full participation of human resources. That means HR executives must be engaged not only in the hiring process, but also in decision-making at the highest levels. With this in mind, Harvard Business School Executive Education offers The HR–Executive Suite Connection, a dynamic program that is designed to prepare HR leaders to analyze strategic business challenges, collaborate with CEOs, and contribute to solutions that build competitive advantage. As a participant, you will gain insights from highly accomplished peers and world-renowned faculty as you enhance your ability to drive growth and create value.
