Technology can play a crucial role in one's professional ascent. Many companies are advising an intensified focus on specialization to navigate the challenges in a job market experiencing unprecedented unemployment rates.
However, if these investments are pursued in isolation, without concurrent development of behavioral attributes, the outcome is unlikely to meet expectations.
To meet the demands of this new era and the recruitment process for future leaders with a digital mindset, FIND HR has incorporated new techniques, notably the behavioral analysis tool, Learning Agility.
"The leaders of today must pursue the ability and willingness to learn quickly and apply that learning to perform successfully in new leadership roles," says Fabio Gabbay, founding partner.
Here are some insights gained by FIND HR during decades of accompanying the evolution of individuals and companies, especially in the recent scenario – an opportunity for some, chaos for others.
Employability in Brazil: Step 1 – Adaptability and Flexibility
The new economy and the need for agility in decision-making demand confident, flexible, autonomous collaborators—individuals adaptable to new forms of work.
Employability in Brazil: Step 2 – Continuous Learning and Insatiable Appetite for Change and Innovation
The current scenario is one of a VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous). Professionals and companies should focus on continuous learning centered on innovation, recognizing that change is the only constant, establishing a digital mindset promptly.
Employability in Brazil: Step 3 – Communication and Empathy
The recommendation is commonplace, but especially in times of crisis, a leader needs to communicate efficiently and have empathy for their team and clients.
It is crucial to be open to the new, new people, new businesses, and new ways of doing the same thing.
Employability in Brazil: Step 4 – Motivation and Purpose
The pandemic brought forth an unprecedented scenario that highlighted many inefficiencies in companies. The sense of lack of belonging and disengagement among people and companies became clear during this period of distancing.
Therefore, for employees, having a purpose aligned with the company is essential, maintaining high motivation, and consequently enhancing their value proposition in an increasingly collaborative environment.
Employability in Brazil: Step 5 – Global Thinking and Environmental Awareness
Successful leaders think globally. What happens on the other side of the world can directly impact the company's business, and threats of competition arise from similar and adjacent sectors.
We live in an era of interconnection and border breakdown, where reflecting on the surrounding ecosystem should be a daily practice for any strategic leader.
Employability in Brazil: Step 6 – Self-assessment and Feedback
A career is a constant journey of self-discovery. The more professionals invest in sincere self-assessment and clearly understand where they will add more value in the market,
the more awareness they will have about their strengths and weaknesses. This leads to a more positive predisposition to feedback, resulting in a healthier and more exponential career.
