Five Ways to Resourcing Success or Failure

Integrity

Understanding integrity and living by the code

“Integrity means doing the right thing at all times and in all

circumstances, whether or not anyone is watching. It takes having the

courage to do the right thing, no matter what the consequences will

be”…………… Amy Rees Anderson, Forbes, Nov 2012

Planning

Making friends by thinking about the objectives and what needs to be done

……………………..and planning ahead

Planning

“Don’t make your own poor planning

someone else’s priority”

“Don’t make your poor planning

my priority”

Fear of Failure

The fear of failure (or mistakes) hinders not just people but innovation too

Good leaders lead

Great leaders encourage/inspire their team to lead with great ideas, great work and great results

Fear of Success

Innovation is key to improvement and growth, mistakes can have positive results

“Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes”…… Oscar Wilde

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than

a life spent doing nothing”……. George Bernard Shaw

Business Partnering

stakeholder management / engagement

…………why do we strive to understand the business yet

fail to educate them?

………why does Resourcing think it supports the business

instead of actually being a crucial part of the business?

Feedback

The giving and the receiving of feedback is vital

………what’s done with it?

…………………………what it’s worth?

Feedback

From where, to who

Candidates

In Closing

Don’t be scared of making a mistake

Don’t make others scared of trying

Lock fear out of the room

Partnering means collaborating

Collaborating means working together

Common goals common desire

Solving our employers’ needs

In Closing

Seek feedback

Listen to feedback

Analyse, understand and use it

Learn, improve, change

Solve, evolve

In Closing

Recruiting is not easy

….but it is simple

Don’t make it difficult

Don’t let others complicate it
