Editor’s Note – March 2016

Welcome to the March 2016 issue of People & Purpose – the Positive Leadership Journal, thank you for joining us on this journey.

This issue is dedicated to the topic of hiring and in particular selection. If the old adage that ‘people are our most important asset’ is true, then getting hiring decisions right is clearly one of the most important management activities – certainly one that has a significant impact on the organisation and its leaders. Hiring well provides an excellent opportunity to add great value to your team.

Explore how to get the selection process right, why successful companies recruit for strengths and the importance of having an open mind about the best fit – read on and we will help you consider and build your hiring practice.

We have an exciting line-up of features planned for the coming issues. In bringing you their interviews, I am privileged to be speaking to inspirational leaders and am very much looking forward to sharing their insights with you through future People & Purpose videos.

This month I spoke with Michael Bungay Stanier, award-winning coach extraordinaire of Box of Crayons, about building the coaching habit – the topic his new book. He provides excellent advice for putting into practice what Henry Stewart highlighted in our last issue: coaching as a core management role.
