🎉 Celebrating Exceptional Talent and Unconventional Success! 🎉 A year ago, I had the privilege of placing Leah, an extraordinary operations candidate, at a great company. Leah’s unconventional methods initially raised a few eyebrows. She challenged established processes, questioned traditional workflows, and introduced some radical changes. The result? A 30% increase in operational efficiency within just 6 months! 📈 Today, as we mark Leah’s 1-year anniversary, we celebrate her courage to think differently and the remarkable impact she's had. Her journey underscores the immense value of innovative thinking and the importance of challenging the status quo. Have you had a hiring experience that led to unexpectedly amazing results? I’d love to hear your stories! 👊 Let’s continue to embrace bold, unconventional talent. #ExecutiveRecruitment #BreakTheNorms #InnovateOrDie #TalentAcquisition

Abigail Adcox: What are some of the lessons or things you implemented as COO at McGuireWoods that you hope to bring to Lewis Brisbois? Richard Davis: Some of the key lessons I learned from working in professional services for 20-plus years is the importance of investing in talent. It sounds cliche, but at the end of the day, whether it’s the client-facing attorneys or more internally focused roles with the business professionals, having the right team around you is absolutely critical. I mentioned before the organization’s ability to and willingness to embrace change is very important to make sure that they don’t get left behind, that we always have to try to do better to maintain our competitive position, and if you really are out there trying to gain market share.

This is what corporate courage looks like. In the face of the EEO act being rescinded and DEI efforts being shut down in both the private and public sector, Ben & Jerry’s shows us that organizations can stand on business and still be successful. Ben & Jerry’s is a Top 5 global ice cream brand with a multi-billion dollar valuation. For years, they have consistently spoken out on their progressive social justice positions and anti-war sentiments. And as we watch organization after organization collapse under pressure to no longer support DEI efforts, Ben & Jerry’s is doing the exact opposite. In the world where it feels like things are turning quickly against marginalized and oppressed groups, know that organizations like these still exist. Keep heart. 🧡 _______________________________ ♻️ Repost to remind others Subscribe to You Belong Here: https://lnkd.in/gBgAe9J4

Well done Ben & Jerry's ✌️ Interested to see how many brands take this stance (and - note - how quickly). Will brands go as far as withdrawing spend in social channels that go too far to the right? Or stay and use their communities to promote equality and democracy. Brands need to understand where they sit on this spectrum - your media channels speak volumes about your brands but can brands afford to be choosy? In other bright 🌈 news I've seen 3 shiny job ads for Director level DEI at major Global companies in the last 24 hours. Will Politics become the new Sustainability in terms of brand differentiation and appeal? What do you think?
