While starting a company is usually straightforward, maintaining a high-level workplace where employees thrive is extremely demanding. In efforts to create elite teams that drive success, competent executives attend incubator programs, workshops, and speeches run by industry experts. A renowned persona in talent acquisition, George Randle is committed to spreading awareness about leadership and helping businesses and individuals succeed.
Now an authority in team-building, George’s professional career began in the US Army as a Commissioned Officer. As stated by George, experience in the military refined skills that were surprisingly crucial in the corporate world, such as talent acquisition and recognizing natural leaders. A comprehensive understanding of leadership inspired George to share his knowledge with others, filling many gaps seen globally. Recently, Randle materialized his experience on paper in The Talent War: How Special Operations and Great Organizations Win on Talent, a book co-written by George, analyzing the similarities between high-performing workplaces and the US Special Operations. Additionally, the experienced talent executive and performance coach is known for hosting eye-opening speeches that touch on the issues in the industry.
While the engaging talks are tailored and customized to particular audiences, differing when addressing entrepreneurs, CEOs, or Human Resources (HR) teams, all of George’s speeches are curated to inspire productive, efficient leadership, and how to hire the absolute best talent. The leading message revolves around the importance of human resources and finding the most proficient way to select, mentor, coach, and grow talent. “Products, demand, and conditions change rapidly, but the people who always survive and thrive are the ones with authentic talent. I believe that the only competitive advantage businesses can hope to achieve and maintain is their human capital, and that’s the message that my speeches emanate,” added George.
During his experience, the disastrous mistakes in the HR departments struck George the most, highlighting problems that stalled growth and success. According to the talent acquisition expert, human resources teams often focus on finances or admin, neglecting mentoring, attracting talent, and mastering the hiring processes.
When it comes to hiring, George noticed that companies often hire only in desperate times. “That’s a vital mistake,” he added. “When you go to the store hungry, everything appeals to you. The same thought process occurs in many businesses worldwide, sabotaging their chances for long-term success.”
George highlights two mistakes that most companies make during the hiring process; the first is not evaluating the current team and not analyzing the common attributes of top performers. As noted by George, while skills can be taught, attributes such as competitiveness, resiliency, or curiosity are either there or not. Emphasizing that talent can’t be seen, George expressed that the second issue is hiring people based on qualifications and likability rather than character. During his comprehensive speeches, George offers a tried and tested solution—curating interview panels that reveal desired traits and attributes.
As an experienced performance and talent acquisition coach, George Randle affected over 85,000 individuals worldwide, mentoring them through many complexities. One of his current ventures includes coaching members of Athena Alliance, an all-women executive group from California devoted to exceptional female leadership. George is the group’s first male coach, highlighting his adaptability and comprehensiveness.
“Whether in business or on the battlefield, every problem is a leadership problem, and it’s going to be dealt with by humans. That’s why the speeches are focused on teaching executives and human resources how to hire, fire, and mentor more efficiently, guiding them through the strenuous process of building A-list teams,” explained George.
