Interims and contractors can have a hugely positive impact in achieving results or indeed setting strategy. Perhaps the most stark example was when Steve Jobs re-joined Apple as interim CEO, but in my own small World, watching Roberto Di Matteo re-design and re-motivate the Chelsea team to the brink of their greatest season in history… is significantly more exciting! Ok, perhaps I am biased.

Once upon a time I sat on the Social Media Steering Committee of a well-known global business. We toiled and wrestled through months of angst riddled discussions around how to protect the brand from the horror of the digital age and its legions of duplicitous social medias.

Posted by Jamie Betts - Solutions Consultant | Interviews

Let’s start by clearing up a common misconception. If you asked someone to give an example of a competency-based question, chances are they will open their mouth and out will come the words “give me an example of when…”. STOP. Please don’t say anything else. Spare my poor cynical ears. Let me ask you a question instead – is “give me an example of the nicest day you walked your dog” a competency-based question?

I’ve borrowed this title from Dr Richard Ward, the Chief Executive of Lloyd’s (think insurance, not bank), where it appears in the foreword of the recent Lloyd’s Risk Index.

More interrogations on diversity in the workplace.
