People-First Leadership - Issue #1

By Robert Merrill • Issue #1 • View online

Here, I attempt to collect and curate advanced ideas on recruiting, talent acquisition, diversity and hiring thought-leadership. I seek to share them with you and encourage conversation around topics that are informative, in-depth, focused and even not discussed very openly.

I hope you find your next big idea (or the grounds for your next big promotion).

Let me know when you get that corner office!

Thanks,
