When we receive feedback with an open heart, it is easier to look in the mirror and improve.

Why do most managers and executives have trouble "coaching" their teams to higher levels of peformance? Why is it that so few companies spend NOTHING on training managers and executives how to coach, inspire, delegate, assign, and give feedback?
Everyone pays lipservice to the idea of leading/managing teams, but so few companies put their resources behind the concept of being a great place to work because of the quality of the leadership/management.
We seem to have taken the "heart" out of leading/managing and it's become a very sterile environment that just doesn't work. Trust comes from the heart, and if you're not leading, managing, coaching from that perspective, your team will NEVER trust you!

Hi, This is Brooke. Once we get down to our finalist candidates we do background checks and pull credit history. This is a legal requirement because we are a securities firm.

I see this trend of companies struggling to fill open jobs as I present to CEO and Senior Executive Groups across the country.
Another study was recently done regarding unfilled jobs:
"The survey from the world's third-largest recruiter, Manpower Group, showed that 35 percent of nearly 40,000 employers surveyed globally during the first quarter of 2013 reported difficulties in finding staff with the right skills – the highest shortage since the start of the recession."
However, I disagree with the commonly-held belief that the reason so many jobs are going unfilled for long periods of time is that educators are not properly preparing students for jobs today.
I believe the major reason jobs are unfilled is that the primary techniques employeers use of a little light networking, job fairs, and job postings are ineffective in bring the right candidate to your doorstep. Instead, the common practice of posting a job description on a job board and allowing it to masquerade as a compelling ad brings the bottom 1/3 of the candidate pool to the table.
If all you're seeing is the bottom 1/3, you're doomed to fail in hiring before you've begun.
