Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder-with Craig Hovda

Posted on

Its literal meaning – the perception of beauty is subjective.


At ISSG, we’re curious to know how this proverb applies to executives as they look to bring in new talent – and think you might be too!  This the second in a series of blogs/interviews with Senior Executives who are thought leaders in the areas of Talent Acquisition, Career Development and Leadership.

 

This discussion was with Craig Hovda. Craig has been a Partner with Deloitte Consulting since 1999. In his tenure with Deloitte he has held various roles including segment leadership in the Federal Government market, international Practice Development in Japan and Brazil, and leadership roles in the Managed Services service line.

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ”

At ISSG, we’re curious to know how this proverb applies to executives as they look to bring in new talent – and think you might be too!  To explore how perceptions, values and worldviews influence hiring decisions, we are planning a series of blogs/interviews with Senior Executives who are thought leaders in the areas of Talent Acquisition, Career Development and Leadership.

Here are the types of questions we’ll be asking:

  •  If you only had 5 minutes to interview someone, what would you ask?
  • What leadership tip do you wish someone gave you when you were starting out?
  • What has made the difference in your own leadership development?
  • How do you determine if someone has potential?
  • What are the primary characteristics that you will be looking for with new hires that did not play a significant role in hiring previously?

Our objective is to provide you with a unique opportunity to gain insights from Senior Executives – and a platform to get a little visibility yourself!

If you have a question that you would like answered, or would like to be one of the folks we interview, please let us know by submitting your ideas to: SURVEY

I watched the disc fly over the heads of both teams. Everyone but me ran down the field. I cringed, helplessly, as the disc wobbled and listed left. Still, I had hope it could go our way. Continue reading →
