Courtney Abraham on awkward interviews, succession planning, and why knowing your talent is vital
Picture the scene... You’re at final stage interviews for a Talent Manager role. During the interview, the CEO, your potential new boss, says “I don’t really believe in Talent Management”...
What do you do? Run away? Take the job? Try and bring him round to your way of thinking?
In the latest episode of The Talent Intelligence Podcast, Current Lighting’s Courtney Abraham tells us how she dealt with the situation when it happened to her in real life. (Spoiler alert: she took the job and won over the CEO).
Listen as Courtney sits down with host Dave Sweeney to discuss awkward interviews and:
- Why it’s vital to invest in your own people who know your business and culture
- Why it’s easier to step up in an organisation than step in
- How to succession plan for an ageing workforce
- The importance of transparency throughout transitions
- And much much more.
Hear about Courtney’s inspiring career including time spent at Adecco, roles in change management and L&D, and what advice she’d give her younger self if she were starting out in HR.
