The Brave Ones / Perspective
Job titles travel poorly between businesses. The same title can describe very different responsibilities, decision rights and working environments. Before a search begins, it pays to understand what the person will actually change.
A conversation about outcomes helps separate essentials from preferences. It also reveals where adjacent experience could be just as valuable as a conventional background.
A clear brief does not narrow the search unnecessarily. It gives everyone involved a common understanding of what success looks like.
