Most leaders treat their mission statement like a marketing exercise. It’s not. It’s a recruiting filter. And if yours sounds like every other company’s, you’re quietly filtering out the exact people you want to hire.
In this first episode of Leadership Unscripted, Kim Leifsen, Founder of Hiring Strategies, breaks down why generic mission statements cost you top talent, what top performers are actually looking for when they read your About page, and three uncomfortable questions every leader needs to answer before writing one.
This is the foundational episode of a season built around the 9 strategies of an Insp-Hired Culture, the framework Kim has used for 25+ years to help small and midsize business leaders build teams that perform, stay, and make their job easier.
