Hiring new people is a big part of a leader’s job and is crucial to meeting the needs of its clients. We want the brightest candidates with a depth of knowledge who can hit the ground running. We rush to hire IQ smart people and assume they’ll get along with everybody and navigate interactions with clients and peers successfully. But what if they don’t? In the legal, finance, engineering and tech worlds, it seems that new hires are ready to go with the facts and figures of the work but can lack the EQ skills that make the difference. Many don’t realize that these skills are as vital to fulfilling their duties as writing an ironclad contract or a solid app. So how can they learn what they don’t know they need to learn? And as leaders how can we help them? This week on LEI, Esther Orioli and her featured guests, Matt Allegrucci and Madeline Dillon from Daiichi Sankyo, discuss hiring, managing and developing talent around EQ and its importance to getting work done and done well.
