How do leaders define each role within their teams, and what impact does this have on the organization as a whole?

My colleague Marko Muellner and I recently had the opportunity to interview Jeff Gothelf, author of Lean UXSense & Respond, and most recently, Forever Employable. In our previous two discussions, we focused on combating the organizational silo mindset and how to build a culture of humility at enterprise organizations.

In this video, we discuss the importance of hiring the right employee for each role: how having the right personality in the right situation can lead to innovative solutions. Within a company, certain team members can thrive in situations with well-defined parameters, and others excel at the improvisational work that is essential to deliver innovative results.

Watch the video below to gain more insight into the importance of hiring the right employee for each role within your organization.
