JSpire Recruiting’s Post

This February, we're choosing to honor our heroes and ruminate on the lessons they taught us all. At Sky Corral Ranch this Presidents Day, we're feeling inspired by two of the greats, John F. Kennedy and George W. Bush. Two shining examples of what it means to be a fearless leader, they inspired our nation to believe in something greater than themselves, and taught us to be brave in the face of uncertainty. As Americans in today's world, our lives are filled with things we can choose to fear. But, there's always another choice. The choice to band together with our fellow Americans and take on the challenges ahead with courage is ours for the taking. For, truly, "There is nothing to fear, but fear itself." With all the polarity in our current political landscape, we'd like to be clear. This is NOT about Republicans. This is NOT about Democrats. This post is about leadership. Being an effective leader is NOT about you. It's NOT about asking what your team can do for you, but what you can do for your team. Sound familiar? It's about others. It's about building a united team where every member feels seen, heard, and appreciated. That's what helps them believe in the vision. As a leader, you have the influence to make that happen.  As for JFK and George W, it's hard to boil down their lasting legacies with just one quote from each of these great presidents, but these are the words we'd like to leave you to contemplate today. From our Sky Corral Family to yours, Happy President's Day, America! Scott Kissel

Another one ☝... When you know, you know. I first engaged with Ryan Toomey, after gathering some market intel & based on his prior experience (outside of recruitment) as well as showcasing high performing traits in rec... he was our no.1 choice. 🥇 Timing & opportunity are critical to any senior level individual considering a move... timing couldn't of been worse as he was about to get married & spend time in Italy afterwards. 🍝 Knowing all too well, happy wife = happy life, I arranged a follow up for his return and true to his word, Ryan took the call & I came prepared with the pitch! 🤑 Both hiring manager David Woodings & Ryan, shared similar ways of working, strategy on how to build a business BUT critically, Ryan wanted to get to know LHi & our good humans... this is the 💡 moment. Why? We ONLY hire cultural architects here at LHi Group... meaning, we're more interested in the person than we are the background. With Harper Harrison having a presence in NYC, MIA, & ATX, it was fundamental that this pivotal hire had more than billings & management experience! 🕵♂️ And boy did Ryan deliver, with a fresh trim 💇♂️ he breezed through the interview process, ensuring he made time for everyone... including those in the office, a true testament to his character & need to secure him! Ryan, is the final piece of the puzzle for our US expansion of our built environment brand, securing a US leader, cultural architect & all round good human was worth all the stresses of counters & battles with competitors. 😅 Welcome Ryan, excited to see you & Harper Harrison scale the heights in the years to come! #anotherone #usrecruitment #builtenvironment

So, No Labels is packing it in. What did we learn from this effort? (1) A third party cannot get traction by arguing about the quality of the candidates from the major parties. It takes a vitally important values-laden issue the other parties are ignoring to motivate enough people to abandon their past party loyalties (think slavery and the republican party in 1860). A third party effort needs to be issues and values based, not process-based. (2) These days, parties (or quasi-parties like No Labels) have no control. Everything is candidate-driven. No Labels needed to start with the candidate, and then get on the ballot, rather than the other way around. (3) We have a massive leadership deficit in this country. #politics #leadership #nolabels #Trump #Biden

Research confirms that Black Canadians continue to be significantly underrepresented in civic leadership roles, including senior public service, regulatory bodies, and other gateway professions to civic leadership roles, such as law, public policy, and business. Research also confirms that this chronic under-representation of Black people in civic leadership roles has taken a serious toll on the engagement of Black Canadian youth in Canada's civic life. The 1834 Foundation’s programs are designed to help reverse this trend, and to help create a new generation of high-calibre Black civic leaders.

President's Day is more than a mere recognition of historical figures; it is a collective acknowledgment of the transformative power of leadership. It symbolizes the strength of democracy, the resilience of a nation, and the ability of individuals to inspire positive change. As we reflect on the significance of President's Day, let us not only honor the presidents who have guided us through pivotal moments but also recognize our shared responsibility to uphold the values they championed. It is a day to inspire a sense of civic duty, a call to engage in the democratic process, and a reminder that each citizen plays a crucial role in shaping the future.

🙌 It's so exciting for us to witness all of the growth at LYT! 🤝 Having Glen Klimek join LYT as their Director of Emergency Vehicle Preemption Sales is yet another growth milestone. ❓So, what's Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP)??? 🚑 EVP is a solution that saves lives by allowing first responders to arrive sooner. In matters of life-death matters, fires, or other situations, seconds matter. Seconds save lives. 🚔 When an emergency vehicle is responding to a situation, LYT's EVP solution clears a path for emergency vehicles by providing them with more green lights. 🚒 Now, this is not the old school system where emergency responders have to push a button to sequence a traffic light. This happens automatically with no driver intervention. And, it doesn't change lights one by one, it clears an entire route so that upstream traffic is moved out of the way. ☁️ Best of all, LYT's EVP solution requires no new infrastructure. It's software that runs safely and securely in the cloud and interfaces with existing traffic infrastructure. 🚨 This is game-changing, this is life changing, this is LYT!
