Recruiting Greatness
By Stephen H. Lahey

Issue Fourteen: October 2006

"The secret of greatness is simple: do better work than everybody else in your field
- and keep on doing it."

- Wilfred A. Peterson

How important is it that you and your team recruit truly outstanding marketing players? Even in the short run, it is important, if not urgent. However, in the long run, it's crucial to the health and growth of your company. CPG companies that don't buy into this concept will never achieve greatness.

On that note, I encourage you to click on the following link* and read the article by recruiting and HR consultant Howard Adamsky titled: "The New Emergence of Greatness in Recruiting - How you can help rewrite the recruiting playbook."

The simple ideas that Howard Adamsky presents actually represent powerful paths to recruiting greatness that only a few top CPG companies now follow. If your company is not one of them, then isn't this a great opportunity for someone on your team to step forward and provide some bold leadership? Perhaps that someone is you.
