How to Navigate the New Hiring Landscape

By Ron Price

Hiring has become more important than ever. Today we are not simply filling a job, but instead asking people to balance complexity and deal with ever-present change. We are not only looking for someone who is going to fit into the job today, but also grow into additional roles in the future, due to the pace of change in the world.

Today’s workplace dynamic of low unemployment and increased worker mobility has resulted in employees who no longer feel loyalty to a company because companies are no longer loyal to them.

This changing landscape can seem like a threat to hiring, but I prefer to see it as an opportunity. It is a chance to hire in a new way.

How to Define Success in Any Job

By Ron Price

In my own experience as an executive, I sought to put as much power as possible into hands of those I supervised. I wanted them to “own” their jobs and to always know how to accurately evaluate their performance. Once I retired from corporate management and started supporting other leaders, I discovered they are equally interested in providing clarity to their subordinates and nurturing a higher level of accountability. This led to formalizing a process for defining and measuring executive performance.

We start by asking our clients, “What are the three to five key results that will reflect superior performance in a job?” They often answer, “if we’re making money or if we’re growing, that hits the mark”.

4 ways to build influence at work, no matter your job title

Featuring Ron Price, Fast Company, June 2019

Being influential has its benefits. People seek out your opinion and listen to you. Your words have power. Those around you believe what you say and give weight to your input. But you don’t have to be a member of the C-suite or a high-ranking employee for this to be true. It’s possible to expand your influence in virtually any role.

“Inside the workplace, there’s formal influence, which comes from your position—the responsibility and authority that you’ve been given,” says leadership consultant Ron Price, founder of Price Associates, and author of Growing Influence: A Story of How to Lead with Character, Expertise, and Impact. “But there’s also informal influence, which comes from who you are and how you show up.”Read More

The Complete Leader Grows Through the Efforts of Many

By Ron Price

Last week, I became aware of the reality that we had programs running concurrently in several U.S. states and multiple countries around the world all on the same day. Many years ago, I had the simple desire to help leaders grow and change their worlds. Though still small in stature, many friends and colleagues are helping us make this a reality.

In 2018, we had over 10 active cohorts for The Complete Leader Program. These cohorts met in the United States, Canada, Spain, Brazil and Ireland. The Complete Leader book was translated into Spanish, French, and Simplified Chinese, adding to our earlier editions in English and Turkish. As I write this, friends are also translating the book into Russian.

Trying to Dress for Success

A Q&A With Ron Price

Ron,

I have a question and I’m wondering if you could offer a little advice. Since working with you, I’ve added several new professional development books to my library, but so far I’ve not seen anything in the books I’m reading about a professional dress code.

For my job, I used to wear business casual attire, but I often found myself with paint stains, drywall mud, oil, etc. on my pants due to the conditions on the job. On two occasions I actually tore open my pants and one shirt walking through a jobsite. So I migrated to wearing jeans and county uniform shirts, but recently I notice that compared to my colleagues, I feel and look underdressed for a Director.
