I found this article to be interesting, however, a statement in the body of the article was rather eye catching.
‘The CEOs I work with assume that all departments know how they contribute to the big picture.’ They really make those types of assumptions? Frankly, I’m amazed by those words. I work directly with a number of tenured CEOs, the ‘old salts’ as the saying goes. They assume nothing! I see a number of less tenured CEOs attempting to manage from 10,000 feet, much to the detriment of an organization. The employees and departments of these ‘old salt’ CEOs, have no doubt what the CEO thinks about them, their role, and expectations within that role. Remember these words, ‘Great leaders are great communicators.’
God’s speed.

Great post. An eye opener for recruiters with a narrow mind. Once it’s understood how the recruiter’s role directly impacts the business, it’s going to allow for greater creativity and potentially a greater sense of job satisfaction which hopefully equals better performance. I think there is often a disconnect between HR functions and the ‘more standard’ daily operations. Perhaps the reason that those specializing in HR nowadays are more often required to take business courses as well.
