Leaders spend almost 40% of their time making decisions, but it’s rarely discussed in the hiring process.
Interviews with executive candidates cover a wide range of topics — but decision-making is too often left off the list. According to an 11-country study of over 500 senior executives at large enterprise organizations across 12 industries, a full quarter reported never discussing decision-making during an interview before accepting a position. Those who did were more satisfied with their role.
So, in addition to bringing up decision-making in an executive search, consider defining the company’s current decision-making state with its ideal one, and be honest about the decision-making challenges the organization faces. This will better prepare the candidate for their new role, and increase the odds of their success.Decision-making is a skill that companies can and should strengthen among their managers and executives, given the financial rewards that are in play.
