The Biggest Killer Of Great Talent

Written by Adrian Petrie, February 7, 2019

The biggest killer of great talent is time.

The business world in which we operate has changed drastically in recent years, and guess what......

It's not going to stop. 

The heart of any business is its people. People will engage with your clients, the community and key stakeholders. People will decide whether your program is delivered on time or on budget. And people, will ultimately determine the success or failure of your team.

So how does this relate to 'time' being the biggest killer of great talent?

Well, it's where managers go wrong.

 When recruiting for positions in an ever-changing marketplace, not only must you prioritise your recruitment drive and partner with your consultant, but you must do so with a sense of urgency if you want results. Simply put, the best talent in the market is not willing to wait for slow processes or the inability to make decisions. Not prioritising your recruitment could ultimately lead to:
  • Erroneous staff hires
  • Losing out on the candidate you really want
  • Extra training strain on you
  • ​High turnover
  • ​Delays in project delivery
  • ​High stress
  • ​Poor culture
  • ​Your boss breathing down your neck 
Believe me, you don't want to make this mistake.

So what do my best and most successful clients do when they need to add to their workforce?

They act fast.  

Not only do they act fast, but the best leaders in the industry are also not afraid to ask questions, to take advice, or to listen to recommendations. This is what separates them from the pack. After all, it could be your leadership, reputation, personal brand or delivery rates that are affected if you don't invest the time to prioritise your recruitment drives, clients or projects.

Your speedy friend,
