Day 22: Host Informational Interviews

Perhaps one of the best ways to build both your pipeline of new talent AND your internal culture is to set aside intentional time for Informational Interviews.This is an opportunity for people exploring your organization OR team members looking for ways to advance to ask YOU questions about your career. They bring the questions and you get to share the stories and lessons from your career.

Some of our best hires and leaders came through Informational Interviews -- demonstrating the one essential trait for career and organizational success -- curiousity. Not only will you learn more about your candidates and team members -- often these stories will help you recall what it was like to have a beginner's mind early in your career. Helping you become a more accessible and empathetic leader.
