The Quick knew that it came down to not only talent and ideas, but execution. The Dead thought only talent mattered with predictable results.<a href="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/07/29/quickanddead_3.jpg"><img border="0" alt="Quickanddead_3" title="Quickanddead_3" src="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/perrymartel/images/2008/07/29/quickanddead_3.jpg" style="margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px; float: right; width: 171px; height: 256px;" /></a></p> <p>To draw a parallel, tech execs often focus too much on building great technology, and too little on commercializing it against competitors. If you disagree then answer me this: are your corporate revenues, sales pipeline, and brand awareness where you and your investors want them to be, even though you've got a market-leading solution?</p> <p>If not, why not?</p> <p>Increasing the value of your company is not just about "collecting talented people." It's about aligning your people with the company's overall strategy, getting them to buy-in and to commit to a common vision. More importantly, you need to compel them to work towards the idea not because you told them – but because you gave them impassioned reasons to do it --- then employees will take responsibility for how their actions affect the business.</p> <p>Technology companies today, more than ever, need leaders capable of managing a community of people with a common mission who are willing to routinely operate at levels of peak performance. That's how organizations compete in a knowledge based economy as centres of excellence – without leaving dead bodies at every gun fight. </p> <p>Executive Search, when properly applied can help drive your business to<a href="http://www.perrymartel.com/"> new heights.</a></p> </div> <script src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/typepad/davidperry/perrymartel?i=http%3A%2F%2Fguerrillajobhunting.typepad.com%2Faroguerecruiter%2F2008%2F07%2Fare-you-getting.html" type="text/javascript"></script> </div> <div class="entry-footer"> <p class="entry-footer-info"> <span class="post-footers">Posted at 07:26 PM in <a href="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/aroguerecruiter/reality_check/">Reality Check</a> </span> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="permalink" href="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/aroguerecruiter/2008/07/are-you-getting.html">Permalink</a> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="entry-comments" href="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/aroguerecruiter/2008/07/are-you-getting.html#comments">Comments (0)</a> <span class="separator">|</span> <a class="entry-trackbacks" href="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/aroguerecruiter/2008/07/are-you-getting.html#trackback">TrackBack (0)</a> </p> <!-- technorati tags --> <!-- post footer links --> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="gamma"> <div id="gamma-inner" class="pkg"> <!-- sidebar2 --> <div class="module-archives module"> <h2 class="module-header">Pages</h2> <div class="module-content"> <ul class="module-list"> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/aroguerecruiter/a-message-for-employers.html">A message for employers</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/aroguerecruiter/about.html">About</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/aroguerecruiter/why-pmi.html">Extraordinary Executive Search</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/aroguerecruiter/in-the-news.html">In the News</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/aroguerecruiter/media.html">Media</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/aroguerecruiter/mission-portfolio.html">Mission Portfolio</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/aroguerecruiter/about-pmi.html">Partner profiles</a></li> <li class="module-list-item"><a href="http://guerrillajobhunting.typepad.com/aroguerecruiter/top-10-reasons-to-use-per.html">Top 10 Reasons to use Headhunters</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="module-typelist module"> <h2 class="module-header">Leadership Books</h2> <div class="typelist-thumbnailed module-content"> <ul class="module-list"> <li class="module-list-item"><div class="typelist-thumbnail"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0066620996/1n9867a-20"><img alt="Jim Collins: Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't" src="http://a6.typepad.com/6a00d83451f3a369e200e553dc79b68833-75hi" /></a></div><p class="typelist-description"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0066620996/1n9867a-20">Jim Collins: Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't</a></p></li> <li class="module-list-item"><div class="typelist-thumbnail"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1576751740/1n9867a-20"><img alt="The Arbinger Institute: Leadership and Self Deception: Getting Out of the Box" src="http://a1.typepad.com/6a00d83451f3a369e200e553dc79418833-75hi" /></a></div><p class="typelist-description"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1576751740/1n9867a-20">The Arbinger Institute: Leadership and Self Deception: Getting Out of the Box</a></p></li> <li class="module-list-item"><div class="typelist-thumbnail"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0787951722/1n9867a-20"><img alt="Ram Charan: The Leadership Pipeline: How to Build the Leadership Powered Company" src="http://a0.typepad.com/6a00d83451f3a369e200e553f851388834-75hi" /></a></div><p class="typelist-description"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0787951722/1n9867a-20">Ram Charan: The Leadership Pipeline: How to Build the Leadership Powered Company</a></p></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- var extra_happy = Math.floor(1000000000 * Math.random());
