A Sexy Lateral on the Prowl?

by | August 1, 2004 | Articles, Cultural Considerations, Leadership, Partnership Structures

Heard rumors that a practice group or a specific lateral partner at
a competitor is sniffing the wind with thoughts of moving?  Does
it sound like an opportunity to pick up some expertise or strengthen
a franchise?

According to Gerald
Roche, the uber-recruiter now semi-emeritus at Heidrick
& Struggles, you’d best think again.  The happy, productive,
valued partners are not sending recruiters resumes or quietly testing
the waters.  "And is it the happy ones you should be most interested
in?  ‘Yes, without question.’"

Even if you’re not looking laterally, read it to learn how compensation
is not the motivator and how understanding someone "metaphysically" is
critical.
