Episode 1950 - Great leaders don't want perfect employees
Dr. Jeff Moore // #LeadershipThursday // www.ptonice.com In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, ICE CEO Jeff Moore discusses the importance of teachable employees who seek out mentorship. He discusses how many employers express a desire to hire experienced employees, believing that they will require less training and oversight. However, this mindset can be limiting. Experienced individuals may come with established habits and methods that do not align with the organization's culture or practices. Jeff reinforces that as teachable employees grow and develop, they become valuable assets to the organization. They can eventually take on mentorship roles themselves, passing on the knowledge and skills they acquired. This creates a cycle of growth and development within the organization, where experienced employees guide the next generation, further strengthening the team.
