Over recent years, the fear of making a bad hiring decision has magnified at the executive level and the scrutiny of candidates has led to hiring paralysis.

One of the most popular interview strategies companies are implementing is the Behavioral Interview. In this webinar led by Matt Gill, Managing Partner of US executive search firm MICA Consulting Group, you will learn how to:

– Identify when you are in a Behavioral Interview and set yourself apart from other candidates.
– Be prepared to answer the questions the way the interviewer expects.
– Nail the interview!

The executive leadership skills required by today’s nonprofit boards are dramatically different than they were just a few years ago. This webinar will identify these new leadership competencies necessary to successful navigate and lead their organization towards achieving their strategic goals.

The following are today’s required skills:

– Visionary thinker
– Entrepreneurship
– Relationship builder
– Achievement driven
– Collaborator
– Inspirational motivator

It helps to have bright and capable people in senior positions in your company but the speed at which companies must act today is beginning to expose the weakness of what has been the cornerstone of many Leadership concepts for the past 40 years – namely the Top 100 – the process by which companies put a disproportionate amount of effort into a relatively small number of people at the top of the business at the expense of leadership throughout the company. This webinar will examine:
– Why do companies persist with this strategy.
– Why companies are only as strong as their weakest point.
– What are the implications of not having capable leadership throughout the company.
– What ‘front line leadership’ might look like.

Leadership transitions are some of the toughest challenges people face – professionally and personally. Nearly half of new leaders fail in their first 18 months. Often, those failures are the result of mistakes made in the very beginning that can be devastating for organizations and leaders alike. This is why onboarding is one of the most important crucibles of leadership.
