Business Leader Exercise
In our last meeting, my business coach challenged me to create an analogy for InPursuit Search — a retained search firm focused on building leadership teams for growth-oriented companies. After much thought, I found my answer while sitting in my barber’s chair, where I’ve gone for over 20 years.
Joe the Barber Analogy
“Finding the right leadership team is a lot like finding the right barber.” Imagine having a barber you trust implicitly — someone like Joe. He knows your preferences, hair type, and style. He listens, understands your personality, and every visit leaves you confident you’ll look and feel your best.
Why Do You Trust Joe?
1. He Knows You: Joe understands your past styles, what works, and what doesn’t. He knows your lifestyle and how you like to present yourself.
2. He’s an Expert: Joe offers advice based on experience, keeping up with trends while knowing when a classic approach is best.
3. Trust and Consistency: Joe delivers consistent results and adapts when you need change.
4. Long-Term Relationship: Joe doesn’t just give haircuts; he builds relationships, growing with you and evolving to meet your needs.
How This Relates to InPursuit Search
1. We Know Your Company: We understand your business history, culture, challenges, and goals to provide tailored talent solutions.
2. We Are Experts: Like Joe, we specialize in executive search, leadership dynamics, evaluation, compensation, and industry nuances.
3. We Build Trust: Our process is reliable and transparent. We don’t just fill roles — we find leaders who align with your vision..
4. Long-Term Partnership: As your business evolves, we’re there to adapt and ensure your leadership team supports growth.
InPursuit Search isn’t a one-time solution. We’re your “Barber Joe” for leadership talent — someone who knows, understands, and partners with you to ensure long-term success.
This analogy is simple, relatable, and personal. It reflects trust, expertise, and partnership — values we bring to every client.
