Baldrige Foundation’s Post

Over the last 36 years, we’ve often heard senior executives confess to us "I can’t tell you what I want, but I’ll know the right one when I see them!"   But is this mindset helpful or harmful?   Check out our recent blog and find out how the biggest challenge often lies in the lack of clear, objective criteria for what makes a candidate the "right one." This issue is compounded when stakeholders can articulate clearly what they don’t want… but struggle to define what they do want.   Our proven, evidence-based approaches help organizations navigate these challenges by engaging key stakeholders in a structured process. This process clarifies expectations, quantifies subjective job requirements, and aligns everyone towards a consensus, thereby ensuring that the next leader is set up for success! #executivesearch #healthcareHR #talentacquisition

The wind is in our sails! If we want to meet our nationally determined commitments to combat climate change, it is POSSIBLE. It requires bold vision and leadership at the state and local levels — in partnership with bold leadership from the private sector, the innovators, and an active community. Rhode Island is an excellent example of how the ecosystem is working together to amplify tailwinds with a combination of strong leadership, bold policy and meaningful partnerships. Under the leadership of Rhode Island’s Speaker Joe Shekarchi and Representative Lauren Carson, Rhode Island passed the 2021 Act on Climate law to establish a target of net-zero emissions by 2050, and in 2022 set the most ambitious renewable energy target requiring 100% renewable energy by 2033. Rhode Island has also been designated a #techhub to supercharge #innovation across the nation by spurring cutting-edge technological investments and creating 21st century job opportunities. With the activism of public policy ambition combined with community leadership like that of FountainHead RI, a vibrant local community, and entrepreneurs like Jason E. Dodier from Grain Ecosystem, and employers like us - here at Schneider Electric - ranked #1 Most Sustainable Company in the World by TIME , Rhode Island can meet its commitments. More importantly - the Ocean State can set a bright example for other states and communities, and lead the way. Yes, every state and every community’s actions matter. The sailing is smooth and fast when we work #together. At Schneider Electric, we look forward to working together to preserve the beauty of the Ocean 🌊 State and all of the States in the United States of America 🇺🇸 Bryan Stevens Aamir Paul Abby Gabriel Tara Parra Andrew Poland Julia Hilton Cory Lichtenberger Alyse Blackburn Akindele Famoyegun Malena Gonzalez Brianna Almonte Mariel Bailey Denis Dolgopolov, CMA, MBA Jen Rutledge
