Well said! Let's keep the politics elsewhere.
Love Trump / Hate Trump? Love Biden / Hate Biden? I don't care. Especially not here. LinkedIn is for business. Go talk politics on Facebook.

When responding to an email, it's amazing (read: disappointing) to see how many people will only answer one and only one question, no matter how many questions are actually in the message. Having to keep responding and asking them to answer the other questions makes me feel like I'm trying to beat the information out of them. 🤔

To job seekers: 1. Don't be afraid to follow up. If it's a job you want, don't be afraid to take the lead in communicating if necessary. 2. Even if you get a rejection, don't be afraid to reach out to the hiring manager / recruiter / talent acquisition person you worked with and ask where you came up short in the interview. Many years ago, I interviewed for a job and I left thinking it went very well. A week or so later, I get the thin letter (yes, this was a while ago :) ) in the mail. Il I reached out to the manager I interviewed with to thank them for their time and ask them where I came up short. There was a confused pause on the other end of the phone, and then he asked me what kind of letter I received. When I told him it said you were pursuing other candidates, he was a bit frustrated. He had asked their HR department if there were any more candidates for the position. They interpreted that as "send this person a letter that they have decided to pursue other candidates." After several apologies, a follow-up interview was scheduled shortly thereafter and they ultimately extended an offer, which I accepted. Had I not followed up, I would have missed out on a job that I ultimately stayed at for over 12 years!
As we socialize on LinkedIn, let’s also talk about pressing issues like ghosting in recruiting. Communication helps jobseekers get feedback, even if it’s negative. Let’s do better! #kingcharlesiii #socialsaturday #kingscoronation

This is 100% spot-on.
One of the hallmark traits of great leaders is their ability to build great teams with the expertise to help the organization achieve its vision and, in the process, fulfilled its purpose. These leaders have the wisdom to give their team the freedom to produce great work because it makes no sense to recruit the best and micromanage their work. It's counterproductive; it will affect your team's morale and, in the process, create a very dysfunctional place to work. When you have a great group of passionate, inspired, and motivated people eager to make a difference, give them the freedom to work, create an environment that allows them to become the very best version of themselves. When leaders recognize that they don't have to be the smartest person in the room, these are the companies that consistently pull off innovative or heroic feats in business because so many of the people who work there are given the freedom to make it happen.
