Insight From the Search Floor
A monthly read on executive hiring from Johanna Watson. What the market is really doing, why leadership decisions stall, and the patterns behind the leaders who fit, perform, and stay. Written from the work, not from a marketing calendar.
What We Write Is What We Actually See Happening
Most executive search firms publish content designed to generate leads. We publish content designed to be worth reading. Every issue comes out of the work itself, the searches, the conversations with hiring leaders, and the executives navigating a move. Patterns Johanna is seeing in real time, not commentary lifted from the feed.
She writes about coaching-centered leadership, the real economics of a hiring mistake, what advisors need to know about their clients' leadership gaps, and how the hiring market is actually behaving month to month.
We do not publish on a schedule for the sake of publishing. When there is something worth saying, she says it. When there is not, the inbox stays quiet.
