Pacific International Executive Search’s Post

The Leadership Insider Series: https://lnkd.in/dFdFxDHc In today’s rapidly changing business environment, skills-first recruiting has emerged as a critical approach for organizations looking to stay competitive. This strategy emphasizes hiring based on core competencies and attributes rather than strictly adhering to industry-specific experience. Companies recognize the benefits of cross-industry expertise and the value of leaders who, throughout their careers, have demonstrated a capacity to thrive amid uncertainty. In this context, Theresa Rynard, a seasoned executive with extensive experience across multiple industries, exemplifies the value of this approach. From her roles in consulting, property, mining, retail, energy, and finance to her leadership positions at American Express, Rio Tinto, and CBRE, Theresa has consistently demonstrated the importance of adaptability and curiosity. Her career transitions have broadened her skill set and provided unique insights that have driven significant organizational growth and transformation. In this interview with Margaret Jaouadi, Theresa shares her journey, highlighting the strategic advantages of embracing diverse experiences and the critical skills needed to lead effectively in today’s dynamic business landscape. "Having a board or senior leadership team with the same industry experience and skills doesn’t provide the diversity of thought needed; it leads to groupthink. Groupthink is fine if you’re on the right path, but when a disruptor comes along or you stumble, you need diverse perspectives to stay ahead." Special thanks go to Jennifer Congdon, Chief Human Resources Officer at M Financial Group, for introducing Theresa to Margaret. #leadershipskills #strategicthinking #innovation #executivesearch
