The Real Reason Family Businesses Fail | Todd Hohauser

from BLTNT Podcast

Todd has spent 27 years proving that hiring is much, much more than finding the right resume.Todd Hohauser is the CEO of Harvey Hohauser & Associates, a boutique and relationship driven retained executive search firm. He grew up watching his dad build the business while talking about culture and fit before Todd really understood their implications. When it was time to take over, he inherited his dad's philosophy.In this episode we talk about:→ Why 90% of executives are firstborn children... and what that explains about leadership→ The ONE interview question that reveals a candidate's values better than any assessment→ How retained executive search works and why the best hires take three months to get right→ Why most succession plans fail in family owned businesses→ And so much more!What struck me is that you don't need more information to become a better leader... You just need clearly defined values and someone who asks the right questions.Thanks so much Todd for coming into the studio to share your story and expertise!~~~This episode is brought to you by AuxiomFind out more: https://auxiom.com/
