The Headhunter's Edge ReviewI thought the book was interesting.
However, Christian has a tendency to imply causes for societal concerns that cannot be proven, only assumed. I found myself suddenly reading about how tragic it was that more women and minorities aren't at the helm of large corporations; that this is a "big problem" caused by white men. The problem is that he chooses not to explore the hundreds of other causes that have contributed to this concern over the years. Instead, he takes the easy road, throws some bare bone statisitics at us with no analysis and tries to lead us to make an "obvious conlusion"...his.
Women and minorities are more determined to get ahead and getting themselves into situations where they are gaining valuable experience, regardless of any past disadvantages. Now, THESE are the leaders I want on my team. Don't just assume the "right thing to do" is to hire more women and minorities. The right thing to do is hire the most talented people for your company, period. Give minorities and women the respect they deserve and understand they can get any position they want if they believe in themselves. They don't need white men to give them a break. What an insult to them. C'mon.
Christian also implies that employer loyalty is alive and well because 30% of people have worked for the same company 10 years or longer (p. 137). How does this prove loyalty? Christain forgets that people stay in their current positions because they lack ambition, fear change, refuse to update their skills, blame others, have no confidence...the list goes on and on. To suggest this statisic proves loyalty just cannot be proven accurate. I've seen people at their jobs for 20 years or more and hate their job and their company the whole time. He even says 90% of workers stated they were "loyal" or "somewhat loyal" to their companies. But, we never find out how many of the 90% said they were "loyal" or how surveys can have biases. Hey, I'm "somewhat loyal" to my current employer but I'd leave in a heartbeat for a better opportunity.
This all sounds bad but it really was an interesting book to read with some good insight into a few area.The Headhunter's Edge Overview
