A Sexy Lateral on the Prowl?
Heard rumors that a practice group or a specific lateral partner at a competitor is sniffing the wind with thoughts of moving? Does it sound like an opportunity to pick up some expertise or strengthen a franchise?
According to Gerald Roche, the uber-recruiter now semi-emeritus at Heidrick & Struggles, you'd best think again. The happy, productive, valued partners are not sending recruiters resumes or quietly testing the waters. "And is it the happy ones you should be most interested in? 'Yes, without question.'"
Even if you're not looking laterally, read it to learn how compensation is not the motivator and how understanding someone "metaphysically" is critical.
